Scientific paper

The hard X-ray transfer problem is considered for a monochromatic point source at the center of a spherical cloud of Compton scatterers. The problem is solved by a Monte Carlo calculation which provides solutions accurate to within a few percent with a reasonable amount of computation. It is shown that the method proposed by Illarionov et al. (1979) makes some significant errors when applied to atmospheres with a Thompson depth of 3. It is demonstrated that second-order corrections to the cross section are important at 50 keV, while first-order corrections are important even at 7 keV.
