The cross section for the muon bremsstrahlung process is calculated as a function of the nuclear form factor in the Born approximation following the Bethe and Heitler theory. The influence of the nuclear form factor is greater than that taken by Christy and Kusaka. The simple analytical expression for the effect of the screening of the atomic electrons is found. The influence of a decrease in the cross section upon the interpretation of some experimental results is estimated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
