Abstract
This paper reviews the formulae and justifications for a single scattering approach to the calculation of the final state in x-ray absorption. It is argued that the results can be useful all the way down to an absorption edge. Corrections due to multiple scattering are considered and it is shown how they may be either suppressed by Lorentzian energy averages if they involve long scattering paths or included via renormalization factors if they arise from shadowing effects.
