Coulomb Corrections to the Parameters of the Moliere Multiple Scattering Theory

Abstract

High-energy Coulomb corrections to the parameters of the Moliere multiple scattering theory are obtained. Numerical calculations are presented in the range of the nuclear charge number of the target atom 4<Z<95. It is shown that these corrections have a large value for sufficiently heavy elements of the target material and should be taken into account in describing high-energy experiments with nuclear targets.
