Application of a Revised Moliere Theory to the Description of the Landau-Pomeranchuk Effect

Abstract

Using the Coulomb corrections to some important parameters of a revised Moliere multiple scattering theory, we have obtained analytically and numerically the Coulomb corrections to the quantities of the Migdal theory of the Landau-Pomeranchuk (LPM) effect for sufficiently thick targets. We showed that the Coulomb correction to the spectral bremsstrahlung rate of this theory allows completely eliminating the discrepancy between the theory and experiment at leastfor high Z experimental targets.
