The angular distribution of photoelectrons excited by X-rays is strongly correlated with the degree and type of polarization of incident photons. The angular and energy spectrum of signal photoelectrons leaving a solid is considerably modified as compared to the differential photoelectric cross-section owing to elastic and inelastic collisions the electrons suffer on their way out of a target. In this report an analytical expression for the angular distribution of photoelectrons escaping from the sample without being scattered inelastically was found in the transport approximation. The dependence of the angular distribution on the parameters characterizing optical orientation and polarization of incident X-rays was studied in detail.
