Abstract
In order to study the natural spectral line shape in the framework of quantum electrodynamics the resonance photon scattering on the relativistic few-electron atom is considered. The general case of the few overlapping levels is studied. In the resonance approximation the calculation formulae for the differential and total scattering cross-sections are obtained. The equations allowing improvement of the resonance approximation are also derived.Keywords
