Abstract:

The angular distribution for small angles and the total cross section for Delbrück scattering (the elastic scattering of

\gamma

-rays by the Coulomb field of heavy nuclei) are calculated approximately. The method is a combination of an impact parameter and an analytic continuation method. It is valid for energies

\hbar\omega

large compared to the electron rest energy

m c^2

. Curves are given for the shapes of the dispersive and absorptive parts of the differential cross section, valid for angles of order

\frac{m c^2}{\hbar\omega}

or less.
