ON THE RELATIVISTIC PHOTOEFFECT IN THE K-SHELL

Journal Article · · Arkiv Fysik
OSTI ID:4123061
The relativistic K-shell photoeffect is analyzed in terms of four "reaction amplitudes," which describe the process completely, including all polarization effects. Expansions of these amplitudes in radial matrix elements are given. Using an improvement of the Sommerfeld-Maue final state wave function, the amplitudes are computed to relative order alpha Z for a pure Coulomb field. Among effects obtained from the first-order terms are a non-zero forward emission intensity and a transverse polarization of the photoelectrons similar to that obtained in relativistic electron scattering.
