The method is applied to literature results for the longitudinal phonon dispersion in several glass formers. The constant frequency scans are well fitted in terms of a Q-independent phonon damping depending exclusively on the frequency, in agreement with two recent theories of the boson peak. The method allows us to link the x-ray Brillouin scattering to the diffuse Umklapp scattering from the boson peak vibrations at higher momentum transfer on an absolute intensity scale.
