Landau–Pomeranchuk–Migdal effect
- Landau–Pomeranchuk–Migdal effect
In high-energy physics, the Landau–Pomeranchuk–Migdal effect, also known as the Landau–Pomeranchuk effect and the Pomeranchuk effect, is a reduction of the bremsstrahlung and pair production cross sections at high energies or high matter densities.
Lev Landau and Isaak Pomeranchuk showed that the formulas for bremsstrahlung and pair creation in matter which had been formulated by Hans Bethe and Walter Heitler (the Bethe-Heitler formula) were inapplicable at high energy or high matter density. The effect of multiple Coulomb scattering by neighbouring atoms reduces the cross sections for pair production and bremsstrahlung. Arkady Migdal developed a formula applicable at high energies or high matter densities which accounted for these effects. Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect.
