Peculiarities and advantages**“Radiative return” helps enhancing the cross section by “widening” the resonance.
+ + ….+ → Up to energies ΔE/E~1%
→ The emission can radiatively enhance the resonance width, and thus the production rate.

The average velocities for each subshell are estimated via the virial theorem. This gives an indication of the relevance of including the target electrons momentum.
