Abstract
In the experiments carried out in Ref.[1] on scattering of thermal sodium atoms in the strong resonant field of a standing wave unexpected anomalies contradicting known theoretical representations of coherent scattering of atoms in the field of a standing light wave were observed: an asymmetry of the momentum distribution of scattered atoms and an oscillatory character of the frequency dependence of the scattering amplitude.
