Abstract

When applying inelastic X-ray scattering in condensed matter physics, one can distinguish three regimes with very different requirements on primary energy, magnitude of energy- and momentum-transfer, and energy resolution: the Compton regime (measurement of electron momentum distribution), the characteristic energy loss regime (information about collective and individual excitations of electron systems), and the high energy resolution regime (phonon-like excitations). For each regime, the experimental requirements are defined, current experiments are described, and, for the benefit of future projects, optimized combinations of insertion devices, monochromators and analyzers are searched for.
