Abstract
Experimental and theoretical results are reviewed concerning the photon polarization and spin asymmetry in the elementary process of bremsstrahlung. In electron–photon coincidence experiments using an unpolarized primary beam (300 keV) the electron–nucleus bremsstrahlung was found to be almost completely linearly polarized. The same behavior was found in electron–electron bremsstrahlung. By using a transversely polarized electron beam the photon emission asymmetry was measured for fixed direction of the outgoing electrons.
