Calculation of Electric Dipole Coulomb Excitation and Dipole Bremsstrahlung

Abstract
Numerical results are obtained for electric dipole Coulomb excitation. Tables of the dimensionless excitation function a0 and the directional correlation parameter a2 are presented over a very wide range of their arguments. It is shown that the dipole bremsstrahlung cross section can be written in terms of the aμ, so that the tabulation also serves for the calculation of the bremsstrahlung differential cross section.
