Abstract

We introduce a technique that simplifies calculations in the Coulomb field. We apply it for calculating first- and second-order processes. In other words, we calculate the differential distributions and the total cross sections for the photoeffect and also for the Rayleigh scattering, for the Raman scattering, and for the Compton effect.
