A spectroscopic interpretation of incoherent neutron scattering experiments is presented which is based on Franck–Condon-type probabilities for scattering-induced transitions between quantum states of the target. The resulting expressions for the scattering functions enable an energy landscape-oriented analysis of neutron scattering spectra as well as a physical interpretation of Van Hove’s space–time correlation functions in the quantum regime that accounts for the scattering kinematics. They suggest moreover a combined analysis of quasi- and inelastic scattering that becomes inseparable for complex systems with slow power-law relaxation.

非相干中子散射实验的光谱学解释是基于弗兰克-康登型概率对目标量子态之间的散射诱导跃迁进行的。散射函数的表达式使得对中子散射谱的能量态势分析成为可能，并在解释散射运动学的量子态中对Van Hove时空相关函数进行了物理解释。他们还建议对准弹性和非弹性散射进行组合分析，这对于具有慢幂律松弛的复杂系统来说是不可分割的。
