STATUS
Structured target resonance 2x20 micron Au/Ta foils separated by 0 – 5000 microns (tolerance about 2 microns) Signal ‘on top of’ about 2.0 (in these units) for separations in microns 120 20 40 100
Measuring the formation length with a micrometer screw.... Structured target resonance Measuring the formation length with a micrometer screw.... Preliminary SPS H4 exp., Sept. 2011
Magnetic suppression 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 10% effect... Material immaterial. Higher fields move effect to higher photon energies. Magnitude insensitive BUT: The effect will not be visible due to LPM suppression! 10% effect...
Magnetic suppression 300% effect! NB! Material immaterial. Higher fields move effect to higher photon energies. Magnitude insensitive 300% effect!
Magnetic suppression MCS Field 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)

PLANS
Heavy ion bremsstrahlung 33 TeV Pb82+ → Pb82+ γ = 170 Intact projectile Weizsäcker-Williams type calculation Scattering on a single rigid object of charge Ze and mass M Approx. binding energy per nucleon Coherent scattering on Z quasi-free protons each of mass Mp Wavelength corresp. to nuclear size Incoherent scattering on individual quasi-free protons
Heavy ion bremsstrahlung Previous theories Now BS never becomes the dominating mechanism in energy loss
Heavy ion bremsstrahlung Delta-electrons Finite nuclear size
Positron production …studies with aligned crystals – to be used for e.g. CLIC, LHeC previous studies with tungsten High multiplicity and ’low’ energies (10 MeV e+)
Positron production MIMOSA detectors (M. Winter, Strasbourg) Vertex detectors for CLIC (?)
Positron production Applications for funding – 100 kCHF – submitted Funding expected by December 2011 11 MIMOSAs + DAQ delivered February 2012
