Nonequilibrium description of bremsstrahlung in dense matter (Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect)

The soft behavior of the bremsstrahlung from a source is discussed in terms of classical transport models and within a non--equilibrium quantum field theory (Schwinger - Kadanoff - Baym - Keldysh) formulation.
