MULTIPLE PHOTON PRODUCTION IN COMPTON SCATTERING AND BREMSSTRAHLUNG

Journal Article · · Nuovo Cimento (Italy) Divided into Nuovo Cimento A and Nuovo Cimento B
OSTI ID:4231517
The multiple photon production in Compton scattering at high energies is investigated from the FeynmanDyson formalism of quantum electrodynamics. It is observed that the multiple Compton scattering crosssection is largest when the photons emitted are all soft except one and differs from the single Compton scattering by a multiplicative factor, which increases with increasing energy of the incident photon. The multiple crcss-section for bremsstrahlung at high energies is then obtained by the Williams-Weizsacker method. The emission of about four hard photons within an extremely narrow cone is shown to be a plausible estimate. (auth)
