Results of neutral detector experiments in Compton scattering of quasi-real photons on electrons and positrons are given over the range of total energy of the beams of 2E = 1000 to 1048 MeV. The total cross section of the process and the angular distributions are in full agreement with predictions made on the basis of quantum electrodynamics (QED). The ratio of the observed total cross section of quasi-real photons on electrons to that on positrons is equal to 0.99 +- 0.02. The quantitative limits of the cross section for production of a heavy electron (HE) are established.
