The x-rays used in scattering experiments are frequently polarized. For instance, undulators sources generate x-rays polarized along a well-defined axis associated with the oscillation direction. (Some specialized undulators generate elliptically polarized light with control of the ellipticity and/or polarization direction.) The intensity of scattering is modulated by the angle between the incident x-ray polarization and the scattering direction, with the scattering probability (and thus measured scattering intensity) dropping to zero when these are aligned.
In particular, scattering occurs with an amplitude proportional to the sine of the angle between the direction of the electric vector of the incident radiation, and the direction of scattering.
