Recent experimental values for the bremsstrahlung cross section near the high-frequency limit with electron energies from 0.05 to 15 Mev and with target atomic numbers from 13 to 79 are compared with theoretical estimates. Calculations made to lowest order in Z/137 show large differences with the experimental results for large 2. Improved estimates. derived by detailed balancing arguments from more accurate photoelectric cross sections. agree reasonably well with the experimental results throughout the indicated range of electron energies and atomic numbers.
