Planar Channeling Radiation from Electrons in Quartz

摘要

Planar channeling radiation from 32 MeV electrons channeled in quartz has for the first time been measured at the radiation source ELBE. The theory of channeling radiation was applied for the assignment of the observed spectra to the crystal planes. Calculations of the continuum potentials, transverse electron states, transition energies, and radiation intensities have been performed for selected planes of quartz. Specific properties of the hexagonal binary quartz crystal influencing the generation of channeling radiation are discussed.
