A spherical tensor expansion of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) is carried out to express the RIXS cross-section in terms of a sum of products of fundamental RIXS spectra and tensors involving incident and scattered x-ray wavevectors and polarization vectors. Specific terms of this expansion are discussed in detail, in particular magnetic x-ray dichroism and powder samples.
