AB  - In a series of papers, Frauenfelder et al. (1⇓–3) propose a radical reinterpretation of incoherent neutron scattering by complex systems, specifically by protein hydration water, drawing into doubt the “currently accepted model, used for >50 y” (3). Under this model they subsume not only assumptions about the scattering target (sample) but also the theory that connects sample and scattering signal. Effectively, they attack the insight (4) that the dynamic structure factor S(q,ω) (which they incorrectly call “the scattering intensity”) abstracts from scattering kinematics and depends only on nuclear position operators acting on the sample. They claim that the established theory …
