Abstract
We consider the inelastic interaction of a neutral atomic projectile s cattering from a solid surface and develop several theoretical models appropriate for describing the diffuse multiphonon contribution to the scattered intensity. Through extensive numerical calculations and com parisons with experiment, we determine the limits of validity of some of the various approximations and the scattering regimes in which each is applicable.
