Abstract
The influence of quantum electrodynamics (QED) to the process of radiative electron capture (REC) is investigated in the region of highly relativistic projectile energies by modifying the wave functions according to the Uehli ng potential. Exact relativistic calculations are employed for the radiativ e recombination. The deviation from non-QED calculations is found to amount to up to 2% in U92+ for a projectile energy of 10 GeV/u and forward emissi on angles of the emitted photon.
