Influence of a medium on pair photoproduction and bremsstrahlung
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 radiation length and the total probability of pair photoproduction are analyzed under influence of the LPM effect, and the asymptotic expansions of these characteristics are derived.

Integral Characteristics of Bremsstrahlung and Pair Photoproduction in a Medium
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 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...
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 کاملIntense Beams of Polarized and Nearly Monochromatic Photons from Coherent Bremsstrahlung
One of the major considerations in planning photoproduction experiments is the choice of technique for generating the photon beam. Several possibilities exist, chieey Compton-backscattered laser beams, tagged and untagged bremsstrahlung, and coherent bremsstrahlung from a crystal. In a coherent bremsstrahlung beam, collimation can be used to suppress the incoherent component and to narrow the e...

Background and purpose: Imaging which is used in nuclear medicine is done using emit gamma rays whereas therapy in nuclear medicine is performed by applying radionuclide’s which emit beta radiation. Using Bremsstrahlung is a new field which is recently introduced in imaging. In the Bremsstrahlung imaging, collimator design should not be based on energy peak and whole energy spectrum should be c...
