Connection between the bremsstrahlung tip and direct radiative recombination: angular distributions and polarization correlations

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
We illustrate the possibility for calculation of bremsstrahlung tip angular distributions and polarization correlations from corresponding photoeffect results with an extension of the method for connecting bremsstrahlung tip and direct-radiative-recombination (DRR) cross sections developed by Lee and Pratt. The agreement between results obtained with this method and results from our numerical partial-wave calculations is, in general, satisfactory. We note features of the distributions and correlations, and once again point out the inadequacies of the nonrelativistic dipole approximation for the evaluation of bremsstrahlung or DRR angular distributions.
