The Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal E ffect and Suppression of Beamstrahlung and Bremsstrahlung in Linear Colliders
نویسنده
چکیده
It is well known that beamstrahlung and bremsstrahlung take place over a finite formation zone distance. If something disturbs the electron during this time, the emission can be suppressed. In this paper, we examine the Landau-PomeranchukMigdal (LPM) effect and other LPM-like effects, such as the longitudinal density (dielectric) suppression and EM field suppression of beamstrahlungand bremsstrahlungin e+el inear colliders. We show that while the LPM effect and the density effect are not sufficient in suppressing these radiations, the strong EM field of the opposing beam does help to suppress bremsstrahlung.

Description 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...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملLandau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect for multihundred GeV electrons
Experimental results for the bremsstrahlung energy loss of 149, 207, and 287 GeV electrons in thin Ir, Ta, and Cu targets are presented. For each target and energy, a comparison between simulated values based on the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal ~LPM! suppression of incoherent bremsstrahlung is shown. For the electron energies investigated, the LPM effect enters the quantum regime where the recoil ...
متن کاملLight-cone path integral approach to the Landau–Pomeranchuk–Migdal effect and the SLAC data on bremsstrahlung from high energy electrons
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 کاملInduced Gluon Radiation in a Qcd Medium
Soft gluon radiation induced by multiple scattering of a fast quark or gluon propagating through QCD matter is discussed. After revisiting the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect in QED we show that large formation times of bremsstrahlung quanta determine the QCD radiation intensity (in analogy to QED) and derive the gluon energy spectrum. Coherent suppression takes place as compared to the Bethe-...
