Proton-proton Bremsstrahlung

Nuclear Physics B, 1967
Abstract We calculate proton-proton Bremsstrahlung cross sections using the Tabakin separable potentials to generate off-shell nucleon-nucleon t-matrix elements in low partial waves and off-shell one-pion-exchange amplitudes for the higher partial waves.
