Abstract
By using an electron-photon coincidence method the photon emission asy mmetry in the elementary process of bremsstrahlung from transversely p olarized electrons was measured. For an electron beam of 300 keV incid ent on a gold target the asymmetry for spin up and down of the primary beam was measured for fixed directions of the outgoing electrons and photons as a function of the energy split. Asymmetries up to 30% were found. The measurements are a proper test for theories going beyond th e first Born approximation.
