Elastic Scattering of Electrons and Positrons by Point Nuclei

Abstract

The Mott cross section has been systematically tabulated, by means of an electronic computer, for intermediate relativistic energies. Results are presented at 15\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} angular intervals, for electrons and positrons, for $Z=6, 13, 29, 50, 82, \mathrm{and} 92$ and for energies 10, 4, 2, 1, 0.7, 0.4, 0.2, 0.1, and 0.05 Mev. Intercomparisons with earlier results are presented, as well as a subsidiary tabulation of a function important in the limit $\ensuremath{\theta}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$.
