Influence of a medium on pair photoproduction and bremsstrahlung
Abstract
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-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (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.
