Abstract
The bremsstrahlung yield of 500- and 550-Mev electrons for the production of 235-Mev photons has been measured in liquid hydrogen. The photons are traced via the production of positive photopions in liquid hydrogen. The result demonstrates a cross section (2.4±2.8)% below the calculations of Wheeler and Lamb. The result can be accounted for by (a) the exchange effect between the final electrons, and (b) interference effects among the protons and electrons in molecular hydrogen. A calculation on the latter effect has been carried out using Heitler-London wave functions.Keywords
