Abstract
One-photon free-free absorption cross sections are evaluated by means of an integral relationship involving electron-atom off-shell scattering amplitudes. Off-shell effects are explicitly calculated and compared to various on-shell approximations. This calculation shows that off-shell effects become small with increasing energy as expected. One of the on-shell approximations agrees with the exact result over the entire energy range under consideration to within a few percent. The only integrals which appear in the calculations are absolutely convergent in contrast to methods used in previous calculations.
