  Effect of radiation of many photons by a single electron traversing a target
is discussed. When the summary energy of emitted photons (the energy losses
spectrum) is measured only, the photon spectrum is distorted comparing with the
photon spectrum in one interaction. Influence of this effect is discussed for
the cases (1) bremsstrahlung (described by Bethe-Heitler formula), (2) the
strong Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect and (3) transition radiation.
Qualitative picture of the phenomenon is discussed in detail. Comparison with
the recent SLAC experiment in relatively thick target (2.7% of the radiation
length), where the effect of emission of many photons by a projectile is very
essential, shows perfect agreement of the theory and data.
