Abstract
Angular momentum coupling theory indicates that some generalizations of the Klein-Nishina cross section for Compton scattering to circularly polarized light are invalid. A corrected expression is given. The analysis illustrates the extent to which a Feynman diagram may be interpreted naively as an angular momentum coupling diagram.
