ABSTRACT

Using a corrected value of the screen- ing angular parameter in a revised Moliere multiple scattering theory we have obtained analytically and numerically the Coulomb corrections to the quantities of the Migdal theory of the Landau{Pomeranchuk (LPM) effect for suffciently thick targets. We showed that the Coulomb corrections to the spectral bremsstrahlung rate of this theory allow completely to eliminate the discrepancy between the theory and experiment for high Z experimental targets.
