dc.descriptionThe Thompson cross section for scattering of electromagnetic waves by a free electron in an expanding universe is derived here. The equations of motion of the electron are obtained using the Einstein-Infeld-Hoffmann (EIH) surface integral method. These integrals are evaluated approximately by perturbing off an Einstein-deSitter cosmological field. It is found that the Thompson cross section varies with time as the inverse square of the cosmic scale factor R(t).
