Coulomb Corrections to the Parameters of the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal Effect Theory and its Analogue

Abstract

Using the Coulomb correction to the screening angular parameter of the Moliere multiple scattering theory, we obtained analytically and numerically the Coulomb corrections to the parameters of the Migdal LPM effect theory. We showed that these corrections allow to eliminate the discrepancy between the predictions of the LPM effect theory and its measurement at least for high Z targets and also to further improve the agreement between the predictions of the LPM effect theory analogue for a thin layer of matter and experimental data.
