Electron-electron-photon polarization correlations in high-energy bremsstrahlung

Jakubassa-Amundsen, D. H. (2018): Electron-electron-photon polarization correlations in high-energy bremsstrahlung. In: Physical Review A, Vol. 98, No. 6, 62715

Abstract

A formal derivation of the polarization correlations between the incident electron, the scattered electron, and the emitted bremsstrahlung photon is given. For the sake of demonstration, spin asymmetries pertaining to polarized scattered electrons are determined within the relativistic partial-wave theory. In addition to the sum rule for the polarization correlations relating to an unobserved spin of the scattered electron, three further sum rules are established in coplanar geometry.
