Radiative Correction to High-Energy Electron Scattering
Abstract
The one-photon radiative correction to the high-energy electron scattering by a nuclear field is analyzed to all orders of Born approximation for the nuclear potential. The leading term of the fractional decrease of the elastic scattering cross section is shown to be exactly the same as that given by the first Born approximation. A detailed analysis of the effect of the long Coulomb tail on the infrared divergence is made. Also, an analysis is made on the origin of the m term which appears in the radiative correction.
