Abstract

The higher order radiative corrections and the damping corrections to the cross section for the scattering of an electron by an electrostatic potential are investigated. It is shown that the perturbation treatment of the radiative corrections at high frequencies joins on to the Bloch-Nordsieck solution for low frequencies. The damping effect arising from the low frequency photons is shown to be negligible, and a modified damping equation is proposed which gives a smooth transition to the damping correction in passing from high to low frequency photons
