Structured target resonance

Measuring the formation length with a micrometer screw....

Structured target resonance

If the deflection angle over half a formation length

exceeds the ‘emission angle’

which happens for photons:

Suppression (crude model):

More elaborate theory needed...

Magnetic suppression

Magnetic suppression

•Material immaterial.•Higher fields move effect to higher photon energies.• Magnitude insensitive

•BUT: The effect will not be visible due to LPM suppression!

The effect will not be visible due to LPM suppression!

Low-Z LPM• SLAC (1995) and CERN

(2001) indicate problems with low-Z targets.

• Test LPM theory in low-Z targets

• Analysis in progress (deconvolution of synchr. rad. poses problems)
