Radiative Corrections. II. Compton Effect

The cross section for the double Compton effect is integrated numerically in the laboratory system, and the effect of the radiative tail to the Compton line is discussed. The double Compton effect is also studied in the c. m. system for the cases in which the energy of one of the emitted photons is much smaller than the electron rest energy or much smaller than the energy of the incident photon. Expressions for the radiative corrections to the...
