Title: AN EXPERIMENT ON THE LIMITS OF QUANTUM ELECTRO-DYNAMICS

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4081479· OSTI ID:4081479

The limitations of previously performed or suggested electrodynamic cutoff experiments are reviewed, and an electron-electron scattering experiment to be performed with storage rings to investigate further the limits of the validity of quantum electrodynamics is described. The foreseen experimental problems are discussed, and the results of the associated calculations are given. The parameters and status of the equipment are summarized. (D.C.W.)
