Abstract:
We investigate the scattering problem for a relativistic electron with spin in a Coulomb field in the framework of pseudoclassical mechanics. We obtain an analytic expression for the scattering angle and limiting estimates for the scattering parameters for the spinless and nonrelativistic cases. For small angles, the pseudoclassical model under consideration leads to the well-known quantum-mechanical Mott formula.
