Abstract

An analytical framework for calculation of multiple scattering intensities emitted by a multi-layer sample are obtained with transport theory. The n-th order Flux solution of the Boltzsiann transport equation renders the iterative solution for multi-layers samples of thin or infinite thickness.

The first-order intensity is written for a generic sample with I layers and for the predominating interactions in the X-ray regime: the photoelectric effect, and the Compton and the Rayleigh scattering. As an example, the case of a thin deposit on an infinite thickness substrate is discussed.
