Calculation of Electric Dipole Coulomb Excitation and Dipole Bremsstrahlung

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 a_μ, so that the tabulation also serves for the calculation of the bremsstrahlung differential cross section.
