Abstract
The scattering of surfons by point mass defects in a solid surface is calculated in terms of field-theoretical scattering theory. Scattering cross sections for incident Rayleigh-mode surfons into other Rayleigh-mode surfons and into one with a total-reflection mode are estimated as functions of incident frequency. It is shown that both of these cross sections have typical resonance structure in the frequency region .
