Abstract

We present the explicit expressions for the matrix elements associated with the interaction of photons with atomic hydrogen. These expressions are applied to compute the scattering cross section for the Raman scattering operating blueward of Lyman epsilon and H gamma. A brief discussion that re relevant to some symbiotic stars and young planetary nebulae is also presented.
