OSTI ID:4300087
The cross section for the bremsstrahlung resulting from high-energy collisions of electrons with protons is calculated, considering the electrons as extreme relativistic and taking into consideration the proton's recoil, anomalous magnetic moment, bremsstrahlung, and form factors. The final cross section is integrated over the recoil proton and final photon to obtain a formula of interest for the Stanford accelerator experiments. The computation of the integrated cross section made without regard for radiative corrections and mesonic contributions is estimated to be accurate to 2% in the energy ranges of interest. This cross section is corrected for radiative effects, which produce an additional uncertainty of less than 5% and possibly as little as 1%. Resonance effects due to meson interactions in the "virtual Compton effect" diagrams, however, become significant in the range of interest. Their contribution to the cross section is discussed.
