Abstract
Electrostatic scattering of highly relativistic electrons at very small angles is discussed. The Hartree wave function is used to calculate the screening effects for the smallest angles. The calculations are facilitated by a theorem which states that, in the Born approximation for elastic scattering by any physical central potential, the total cross section in the relativistic limit is independent of energy.Keywords
