Pair production and bremsstrahlung of charged leptons

Abstract

Photo pair productions of electrons, muons, and heavy leptons and bremsstrahlung of electrons and muons are reviewed. Atomic and nuclear form factors necessary for these calculations are discussed. Straggling of electrons in matter and other effects due to finite target thickness are considered. Tables of radiation lengths of all materials and the energy dependence of photon absorption coefficients of many materials are presented. Problems associated with production of particles by photon and electron beams are also discussed.
