Photon emission by an ultra-relativistic particle channeling in a periodically bent crystal
This paper is devoted to a detailed analysis of the new type of the undulator
radiation generated by an ultra-relativistic charged particle channeling along
a crystal plane, which is periodically bent by a transverse acoustic wave, as
well as to the conditions limiting the observation of this phenomenon. This
mechanism makes feasible the generation of electromagnetic radiation, both
spontaneous and stimulated, emitted in a wide range of the photon energies,
from X- up to gamma-rays
