Spectrum of Radiation from Rough Surfaces
Radiation from a charged particle travelling parallel to a rough surface has
been considered. Spectral-angular intensity is calculated in the weak
scattering regime. It is shown that the main contribution to the radiation
intensity is determined by the multiple scattering of polaritons induced by a
charge on the surface. Multiple scattering effects lead to strong frequency
dependence of radiation intensity. Possible applications in beam and surface
diagnostics are discussed.Comment: submitted to Europhys.Let
On the influence of acoustic waves on coherent bremsstrahlung in crystals
We investigate the coherent bremsstrahlung by relativistic electrons in a
single crystal excited by hypersonic vibrations. The formula for the
corresponding differential cross-section is derived in the case of a sinusoidal
wave. The conditions are specified under which the influence of the hypersound
is essential. The case is considered in detail when the electron enters into
the crystal at small angles with respect to a crystallographic axis. It is
shown that in dependence of the parameters, the presence of hypersonic waves
can either enhance or reduce the bremsstrahlung cross-section.Comment: 11 pages, 6 EPS figures, LaTe
Experimental Research of the Diffraction and Vavilov-Cherenkov Radiation Generation in a Teflon Target
Geometry of Vavilov-Cherekov (VChR) radiation when an electron moves close to
a dielectric target is in analogy to diffraction radiation (DR) geometry. In
this case we may expect DR generation from the upstream face of the target
besides that VChR. The joint observation of these booth types of radiation is
very interesting from the pseudo-photon viewpoint, which is applicable for
relativistic electrons. Unexpected results obtained in our experiment insist on
reflection about nature both DR and VChR. The experiment was performed on the
relativistic electron beam of the microtron of Tomsk Polytechnic University.Comment: This article will be published in Journal of Physic
Coherent pair production in deformed crystals with a complex base
We investigate the coherent electron-positron pair creation by high-energy
photons in a periodically deformed single crystal with a complex base. The
formula for the corresponding differential cross-section is derived for an
arbitrary deformation field. The conditions are specified under which the
influence of the deformation is considerable. The case is considered in detail
when the photon enters into the crystal at small angles with respect to a
crystallographic axis. The results of the numerical calculations are presented
for single crystal and Moliere parametrization of the
screened atomic potentials in the case of the deformation field generated by
the acoustic wave of type. In dependence of the parameters, the presence of
deformation can either enhance or reduce the pair creation cross-section. This
can be used to control the parameters of the positron sources for storage rings
and colliders.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, misprint in the numerical coefficients in figure

Coherent Bremsstrahlung in Imperfect Periodic Atomic Structures
Coherent bremsstrahlung of high energy electrons moving in a
three-dimensional imperfect periodic lattice consisting of a complicated system
of atoms is considered. On the basis of the normalized probability density
function of the distribution of atomic centers in the fundamental cell the
relations describing coherent and incoherent contributions into cross sections
are obtained. In particular, the cross section of coherent bremsstrahlung in
complex polyatomic single crystals is found.
The peculiarities of formation and possibilities of utilization of coherent
processes are discussed.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Tensor polarization of deuterons passing through matter
It is shown that the magnitude of tensor polarization of the deuteron beam,
which arises owing to the spin dichroism effect, depends appreciably on the
angular width of the detector that registers the deuterons transmitted through
the target. Even when the angular width of the detector is much smaller than
the mean square angle of multiple Coulomb scattering, the beam's tensor
polarization depends noticeably on rescattering. When the angular width of the
detector is much larger than the mean square angle of multiple Coulomb
scattering (as well as than the characteristic angle of elastic nuclear
scattering), tensor polarization is determined only by the total reaction cross
sections for deuteron-nucleus interaction, and elastic scattering processes
make no contribution to tensor polarization.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figures, to be published in IO
Density Matrix Kinetic Equation Describing a Passage of Fast Atomic Systems Through Matter
The quantum-mechanical consideration of a passage of fast dimesoatoms through
matter is given. A set of quantum-kinetic equations for the density matrix
elements describing their internal state evolution is derived. It is shown that
probabilistic description of internal dynamics of hydrogen-like atoms is
impossible even at sufficiently low energies because of the ``accidental''
degeneracy of their energy levels.Comment: 12 pages, LATEX, submitted to J. Phys.
Multi-photon effects in energy losses spectra
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.Comment: LaTeX2.09, 19 pages, 5 PostScript figure
