  We calculate the effect of infrared fluctuations of the Chern-Simons gauge
field on the single-particle Green's function of composite fermions in the
half-filled Landau level via higher-dimensional bosonization on a curved Fermi
surface. We find that composite fermions remain well-defined quasi-particles,
with an effective mass given by the mean-field value, but with anomalously
large damping and a spectral function that contains considerable weight away
from the quasi-particle peak.
