The text states that:
"The value dσ / dΩ is the probability that a photon will scatter into the solid angle defined by dΩ = 2πsinθdθ."
A differential cross section is not a probability. It is an effective area around a target particle that the scattered particle must enter in order to scatter into a given solid angle.
