Elastic scattering of electrons and positrons by screened nuclei

Abstract

Results of calculations of cross sections for elastic electron and positron scattering are given in angular steps of 15 degrees for elements Z = 6, 13, 29, 50, 82, and 92 and energies T'=0.2, 0.4, 0.7, 1, 2, 4, and 10 MeV. The calculation is based on the separability of the cross section into two factors, one describing screening and the other, spin and relativistic effects. The first factor is obtained by the Moliàfre approximation 8. The second factor is taken from a paper by Doggett and Spencer 5. Different screening potentials for Z = 29 were applied. © 1966, Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.
