Abstract
Investigation of lepton propagation through matter is of importance for cosmic-ray physics and neutrino astronomy. The diffractive scattering of virtual photons is considered as a process that leads to the energy loss of leptons emitting these photons. The interference between this process and bremsstrahlung makes a contribution that depends on the sign of the lepton charge.
