resonant scattering [′res·ən·ənt ′skad·ə·riŋ]

(quantum mechanics)

Scattering of a photon by a quantum-mechanical system (usually an atom or nucleus) in which the system first absorbs the photon by undergoing a transition from one of its energy states to one of higher energy, and subsequently reemits the photon by the exact inverse transition.
