First-order effects, the lens term

Now let us be specific about what is meant by the lens term in the present context of before-stack migration in the presence of lateral velocity variation. Specializing the DSR equation to 15$^\circ$ angles gives  
 \begin{displaymath}
{ \partial U \over \partial z } \eq - \ \Biggl\lbrace \ \lef...
 ...ial^2 \ \over \partial g^2}
\ \right] \ \Biggr\rbrace \ U \quad\end{displaymath} (17)
Rearranging the terms to group by behavior gives
      \begin{eqnarray}
{ \partial U \over \partial z } \ \ &=&\ \ - \ \left[
{ i \omeg...
 ...uad \quad \quad + 
\quad \quad \quad \quad \hbox{diffraction term}\end{eqnarray} (18)
(19)
So you see the familiar type of lens term, but it has two parts, one for shifting at the shot, and one for shifting at the geophone.
