Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Neutral-current induced photon circular polarization effects in bremsstrahlung and pair production are calculated to the first order in the weak interaction. The effects are found to be of the same order of magnitude as corresponding lepton-helicity effects. Numerical results are presented for the Weinberg-Salam model. A brief discussion of the pure electromagnetic photon circular polarization effects is given.
