title = "Quasi-real Compton scattering measurement",
abstract = "A measurement is reported on the elastic scattering of quasi-real photons generated by one beam with the particles of the other in e+e- interactions at s = 29 GeV performed using the DELCO detector at PEP. The events are characterized by coplanar and anti-tagged e γ pairs with large visible energy where the charge of the electron is correlated with the acolinearity angle. Also, this result is used to search for the on-shell production of a hypothetical excited electron e*. It is found that the data agree well with the predictions for the QED Compton process, and upper limits are set on the e*e γ coupling parameter λ to be below 10-2 (95% CL) in the range 15 ≲ Me * ≲ 27 GeV.",

note = "Funding Information: In e+e - collisions, a quasi-real photon emitted by one of the incoming particles can be elastically scattered by the other (fig. 1). The spectator electron, which radiates the photon, tends to be emitted at a very small angle relative to the beam axis and escape detection, while the scattered e'}, pair may be detected ~:' This work was supported in part by the Department of Energy, contract numbers DE-ACO3-76SF00515an d DE-AC03-81-ER40050, and the National Science Foundation. 1 Present address: Laboratoire de l'Accddrateur Lin6aire, L.A.L. - Orsay, BRt. 200, F-91405 Orsay, France. 2 Present address: CERN, EP-division, CH-1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland. 3 Present address: Watkins-Jobnson Co., 2525 North 1st Street, San Jose, CA 95131-1097, USA. 4 Present address: University of Victoria, Department of Physics, PO Box 1700, Victoria, B.C., Canada V8W 2Y2. s Present address: DESY, F-22, Notkestrasse 85, D-2000 Hamburg 52, Fed.
