Compton Scattering. II. Differential Cross Sections and Left - Right Asymmetry

The differential cross sections for polarized electron-photon scattering are calculated to order $e^6$ and the unpolarized result of Brown and Feynman is rederived. The left-right asymmetry is calculated for a polarized target electron in agreement with Miller and Wilcox. This leaves the disagreement between theory and experiment unresolved. These results are obtained by using the six invariant amplitudes in spectral form, which were calculated in the preceding communication.
