Description
I discuss the scattering of high energy leptons off atomic electrons. The focus of the talk is on how the cross section for this process differs from the scattering off free electrons. This involves, atomic binding corrections, Coulomb exchanges between the outgoing energetic struck electron with the remaining atomic debris and other effects. This is not beyond the standard model (BSM) physics, but the results may be relevant for experiments that constrain possible BSM physics.
