Nuclear structure effects in high-energy bremsstrahlung from spin-0 and spin-1/2 nuclei — •Doris Jakubassa-Amundsen — University of Munich, Germany

Bremsstrahlung from relativistic spin-polarized electrons colliding with inert nuclei is calculated by taking into account the nuclear form factors and the kinematical recoil. For the spin-1/2 nuclei additional contributions from the anomalous magnetic moment and the dynamical recoil are considered. Electron bremsstrahlung is described with the help of semirelativistic wavefunctions while nuclear bremsstrahlung, when present, is treated within the Born approximation. The triply differential bremsstrahlung cross section is integrated over the electron scattering angle to study the polarization correlations between the beam electron and the emitted photon. Results are shown for 20-120 MeV electrons colliding with protons, 19F, 64Zn and 89Y. It is also attempted to explain the background in electron spectra from nuclear excitation in terms of bremsstrahlung. As an example the 180 degree spectrum from exciting the giant M2 resonance in 90Zr by 42.7 MeV electrons is analyzed.
