Abstract
The effect on the incoherent scattering cross section of a suprathermal differential particle flux of the form J(E, θ) = CE-γ P(θ) is calculated for integer and half-integer values of γ, for a pitch-angle distribution P(θ) = |cosθ|n (n integer), and in the case of a scattering geometry with wave vector shift K being parallel to the external magnetic field. As an illustration the theory is applied to calculate the effect on the electron plasma line from a given photoelectron flux.
