Method

The mean value of the energy lost by the muon due to bremsstrahlung of photons of energy <kc = BCUTM is: Elossbrem(Z,T,kc) = ∫0kck {d σ(Z,T,k)dk}dk

and the total cross-section for the emission of a photon of energy > kc is σ(Z,T,kc) = ∫kcT{d σ(Z,T,k)dk}dk

Accurate cross-section formula for the high energy (T ≥1 GeV) muon bremsstrahlung can be found in [].
