Abstract

The cross section for electron bremsstrahlung in the presence of a magnetic dipole potential is considered, with dependence on photon polarization explicit. Modifications of a result due to Sarkar, to include nuclear spin effects, are derived, and the angular and energy distributions of the radiated quanta are obtained. The related process of pair production is discussed. The infrared divergence is eliminated in the same way as for the Coulomb potential.
