【 摘 要 】

We calculate the elastic scattering cross section for an electron off of a classical point source in weak-coupling perturbative quantum electrodynamics at next-to-leading order accuracy in the MS renormalization scheme. Since we use the MS renormalization scheme, our result is valid up to arbitrary large momentum transfers between the source and the scattered electron.
