Abstract

Eradicated electron sensitive nuclear emulsions were exposed to 200-Mev electrons at the Berkeley synchrotron. In scanning the electron tracks 427 events were observed in which the scattered electron of lower energy, or knock-on electron, had an energy greater than 30 kev. The observed differential cross section was found to agree in absolute value with M\o{}ller's theoretical cross section, although an insufficient number of high energy knock-on electrons were observed to distinguish between the M\o{}ller, relativistic Mott, and relativistic Rutherford formulas. Two pairs initiated by primary electrons and two cases in which primary electrons vanished in the emulsion were also observed in 102.6 cm of track. No heavy particle events were seen.
