It is a pleasure for me to tell you that in the CERN experiment we are running these days, we have confirmed the logarithmic thickness we have confirmed the logarithmic thickness dependence that your theory for thin targets has predicteddependence that your theory for thin targets has predicted, …

… we are certain that the effect is there, and we thought we would let you know that we have 'seen' the 'half-bare' electronwe have 'seen' the 'half-bare' electron :-) :-)

ConclusionConclusion

1. The effect of suppression of ultrarelativistic electron radiation due to a multiple

scattering on atoms in a thin amorphous target (TSF effect) was finally

confirmed in the CERN experiment NA63 by observation of logarithmic

dependence of the radiation spectral density on the target thickness.

2. It is theoretically shown that this effect leads to essential changing not only

spectral density of radiation, but also its angular distribution and polarization,

that can be verified by future experiments in SLAC and CERN.

3. The TSF effect takes place also in a thin crystal at the coherent multiple

scattering of an electron on the crystal atomic chains. This effect is planed for

experimental study in CERN after SPS restart.

4. The analogous of the LPM and TSF effects have to take place in QCD

at quark-gluon interaction.
