Integral Characteristics of Bremsstrahlung and Pair Photoproduction in a Medium
نویسنده
چکیده
The bremsstrahlung of an electron and ee-pair creation by a photon in a medium is considered in high-energy region, where influence of the multiple scattering on the processes (the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect) becomes essential. The integral characteristics: the radiation length and the total probability of radiation and pair photoproduction are analyzed under influence of the LPM effect.

Influence of a medium on pair photoproduction and bremsstrahlung
The creation of electron-positron pair by a photon and the bremsstrahlung of an electron in a medium are considered in high-energy region, where influence of the multiple scattering on the processes (the Landau-PomeranchukMigdal (LPM) effect) becomes essential. The pair photoproduction probability is calculated with an accuracy up to the ”next to leading logarithm”. The integral characteristics...

The real part of the virtual Compton amplitude can be directly determined from measurements of electron (or muon) bremsstrahlung or pair photoproduction. In general, the interference of the Compton amplitude with the Bethe-Heitler amplitude for pair production or bremsstrahlung yields a contribution to the cross section which is antisymmetric when the leptons are interchanged. This interference...

Abstract The yield of the isomeric state 117mSn (Eiso = 314.58 keV) has been measured in (γ, γ) reaction by activation method with the bremsstrahlung end-point energy from 2.1 to 3.0MeV. Only one intermediate state (IS) responsible for the isomer feeding has been found. The excitation energy of the IS (2.25 ± 0.05)MeV and photoproduction integral cross section (0.022± 0.002) eV b have been dedu...
متن کاملMUON PAIR PHOTOPRODUCTION AT 20.5 GeV
We have studied the production of muon pairs with invariant masses from 1 to 4 GeV by 20.5 GeV bremsstrahlung radiation. The invariant mass distribution has' a large deviation from the expected Bethe-Heitler shape which we attribute to the Q(3.1 GeV). We determine the $(3.1 GeV) photoproduction cross section to be 1 3.7 + 2.2 1.5 nb at an average photon energy of.18 GeV. (Submitted to Physics L...
متن کاملConcept of Formation Length in Radiation Theory
The features of electromagnetic processes are considered which connected with finite size of space region in which final particles (photon, electron-positron pair) are formed. The longitudinal dimension of the region is known as the formation length. If some external agent is acting on an electron while traveling this distance the emission process can be disrupted. There are different agents: m...
