Effect of Rabi dynamics in resonant x-ray scattering of intense attosecond pulses

This study theoretically examines the effects of x-ray-driven Rabi oscillations on resonant x-ray scattering in Ne${}^{+}$, showing that the total photon yield and angular distribution are strongly influenced by pulse area and interference between resonance fluorescence and elastic scattering channels. The findings reveal enhanced photon yields under resonant conditions and offer insights for using resonant attosecond pulses for site-specific x-ray imaging.
