Abstract
Under the nonrelativistic Born approximation, differential cross sections are derived for elastic collisions between two point charged particles in an external constant uniform electric field and for bremsstrahlung during these collisions.An analysis of the cross sections obtained shows that, due to the interference of the wave functions of two colliding particles during their reflection from the potential barrier of an external electric field, the differential cross sections for elastic collisions and for unpolarized bremsstrahlung (i) are both oscillatory in character and (ii), instead of being linearly proportional to one another (as in the case without an externale electric field), are related in a more complicated manner.
