Abstract (summary)
In this paper, we show that the diffraction of the primes is absolutely continuous, showing no bright spots (Bragg peaks). We introduce the notion of counting diffraction, extending the classical notion of (density) diffraction to sets of density zero. We develop the counting diffraction theory and give many examples of sets of zero density of all possible spectral types.
