On Theory of Landau-Pomeranchuk Effect
Abstract
The cross section of bremsstrahlung from high-energy electron suppressed due to the multiple scattering of an emitting electron in a dense media (the LPM effect) is discussed. Development of the LPM effect theory is outlined. For the target of finite thickness one has to include boundary photon radiation as well as the interference effects. The importance of multiphoton effects is emphasized. Comparison of theory with SLAC data is presented.
