Cross section of electron-nucleus bremsstrahlung near the short-wavelength limit

Using the partial-wave formalism the cross section of bremsstrahlung for a pure Coulomb field is calculated for various atomic numbers of the target nucleus and various incident electron energies. The results are compared to those of previous theories. For intermediate and large atomic numbers the latter cross sections undervalue significantly the present ones. Except for low atomic numbers the cross sections in Born approximation with the...
