Tests of quantum electrodynamics at PETRA

Creators

Description

Results from three PETRA experiments on e+e- → e+e- and e+e- → μ+μ- are presented. These are used to test for deviations of the photon propagator from 1/q2 or for nonpointlike behavior of one of the particles γ, e or μ. Quantum electrodynamics is found to be valid down to distances of 4 x 10-16 cm. (orig.)
