In the case of zero photon mass as in the standard model, then x1 is zero. In this case the equation reduces to

1 / omega’ – 1 / omega = (h bar / (m2 c squared) (1 – cos theta)

whish is the textbook equation for Compton scattering for zero photon mass. Here:

omega / c = 2 pi / lambda

so

lambda’ – lambda = (h / m2 c) (1 – cos theta)

which is the usual textbook equation. So the textbook result is a mirage, it works only for zero photon mass. This is self contradictory because de Broglie postulated non zero photon mass. The theory does not work at all for the general scattering of m1 off m2 and does not work for finite photon mass m1.
