Tagged photons: an analysis of the bremsstrahlung differential cross section in the range of interest for a tagged photon system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5847618
The differential cross section are considered for bremsstrahlung for angles and energies in the range of interest for a tagging system. A high energy, small angle approximation is derived for the differential cross section for bremsstrahlung. This approximation is used to determine the maxima and minimum of the cross section and to evaluate it at these extrema. It is shown that the differential cross section has a very sharp dip in the region of small momentum transfers. Coulomb corrections to the Born approximation are considered, and do not fill in this dip.
