Light-cone path integral approach to the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect and the SLAC data on bremsstrahlung from high energy electrons
Abstract
The recent data of the SLAC E-146 collaboration on the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect for bremsstrahlung from 8 and 25 GeV electrons are analyzed within a rigorous light-cone path integral approach. Numerical calculations have been carried out treating rigorously the Coulomb effects and including the inelastic processes. Comparison with the experimental data is performed taking into account multi-photon emission and photon absorption. For most of the targets the theoretical predictions are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.
