The LPM Effect: Comparing SLAC E-146 Data with Experiment

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The suppression of photon bremsstrahlung due to a variety of in-medium effects is discussed. Different electrodynamic suppression effects are discussed, and compared with the related color analogs. Higher order effects are considered, and found to be important. Data from SLAC E-146 is discussed, and compared with theory. The effect of finite thickness targets is emphasized, since nuclear size is such an important limiting factor for the chromodynamics effects.
