Abelian Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal Effects
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the high-energy expansion of the scattering amplitude calculated from Feynman diagrams factorizes in such a way that it can be reduced to the eikonalized form up to the terms of inverse power in energy in accordance with results obtained by solving the Klein-Gordon equation. Therefore the two approaches when applied to the suppression of the emission of soft photons by fast charged particles in dense matter should give rise to the same results. A particular limit of thin targets is briefly discussed.

The Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect in a thin target
The Landau, Pomeranchuk, Migdal (LPM) effect (suppression of the bremsstrahlung from high energy electron due to a multiple scattering of an emitting electron in dense media) is considered for the case when thickness of a target is of the order or less than the formation length of radiation. The effects of the polarization of a medium and transition radiation are taken into account as well. Qua...
متن کاملDescription of the CERN SPS data on the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect for photon bremsstrahlung in quantum regime
We analyze within the light-cone path integral approach [4] the recent CERN SPS data [19] on the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect for photon bremsstrahlung in quantum regime from 149, 207, and 287 GeV electrons. Calculations have been carried out treating accurately the Coulomb effects and including the inelastic processes. Comparison with experiment is performed accounting for multi-photon emi...

We analyze the recent data of the SLAC E-146 collaboration [11] on the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect for bremsstrahlung from 8 and 25 GeV electrons within a rigorous light-cone path integral approach previously developed in Refs. [14, 16]. Numerical calculations have been carried out treating rigorously the Coulomb effects and including the inelastic processes. Comparison with the experiment...
متن کاملStructured Targets and the Landau - Pomeranchuk - Migdal Effect
The Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect is the suppression of Bethe-Heitler radiation caused by multiple scattering in the target medium. In this paper, the quantum treatment given earlier for finite but homogeneous targets is extended to structured targets. It is shown that radiators composed of separated plates or of a medium with a varying radiation length can exhibit coherence maxima and minim...
