The angular distributions of the process e/sup +/e/sup -/ yields e/sup +/e/sup / measured by the Bologna-CERN-Frascati group at the electron-positron colliding-beam facility Adonc are analyzed in terms of standard quantum 3/ including soft-and hard-photon emission. An analytical expression is given for the cross section of the process e/sup +/e/sup -/ yields e/sup +/e gamma for hard photons. Detailed numerical r esults for that specific experimental setup are obtained by a Monte Carlo progrm. It is found that this bremsstrahlung process is responsible for the noncollinear and noncoplanar events observed at Frasscati. Therefore, these data, together with the present calculation, provide a test of QED for this particular physical situation involving high energies and large momentum transfers. (auth)
