We use the semi-analytical program RCFORGV to evaluate radiative corrections to one-photon radiative emission in the high-energy scattering of pions in the Coulomb field of a nucleus with atomic number Z. It is shown that radiative corrections can simulate a pion polarizability effect. The average effect is α π = −β π = (0.20±0.05)×10cm, for pion energies 40-600 GeV. We also study the range of ...
