Importance of Coulomb effects in half-shell scattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The half-shell cross section for charged-particle scattering is discontinuous at the on-shell point. Moreover, its limits for p..-->..k/sup -/ and p..-->..k/sup +/ not only differ from each other, they also differ from the corresponding on-shell cross section, often by appreciable energy-dependent factors. This has important consequences for the theoretical description of bremsstrahlung and quasifree data.
