Abstract
We analyze the polarization of bremsstrahlung emitted from polarized electrons, in the Born approximation. Spins of the final electron are summed over. Differential cross sections are given, and are integrated over final electron directions. The results are valid for all electron energies, subject only to the limitations on the validity of the Born approximation. Screening is taken into account by using an exponential atomic form factor. Methods for relativistic spin description are discussed.Keywords
