Title: Effect of background thermal radiation on radiative correction to elastic scattering of electrons

Abstract

Calculations of the energy dependence of the electron-scattering cross section in the presence of thermal background radiation (Planck's field) are done in the semiclassical approximation. It is shown that the cross section remains finite and is peaked around the initial energy with the width proportional to the radiation temperature.
