Haakon Olsen andL. C. Maximon:Phys. Rev.,114, 887 (1959). Note p. 893, eq. (4.10). However, in the second term in this equation the factor |J·e*|2 should read |J·e|2.
We use the usual convention, as inJ. M. Blatt andV. F. Weisskopf:Theoretical Nuclear Physics (New York, 1952); note p. 807, eq. (5.1).

This also follows from the fact that 6 is proportional to the imaginary part of the matrix element. Thus, since the first order Born approximation matrix element is real, only higher order Born approximations contribute tob. For a more detailed discussion seeH. Kolbenstvedt andHaakon Olsen:Nuovo Cimento,22, 610 (1961); note Sect.2 and Appendix A.
The roles of electron and positron may of course be interchanged in the above discussion; this merely changes the sign of the asymmetry.
