Abstract
A theory of magnetic Compton scattering is formulated. The cross secti on is found to be insensitive to orbital effects, in agreement with re cent experiments on transition-metal and rare-earth ferromagnets. When the transferred energy is sufficiently small to generate substantial corrections to the impulse approximation, the sensitivity to orbital m oments of ordinary nonresonant magnetic scattering is recovered.
