Radiation of the magneto-crystalline undulator

The radiation at grazing incidence of relativistic positively charged particles on the crystal surface in the presence of magnetic field is studied theoretically. The magnetic field is supposed to be parallel to the surface. Dependent on the initial conditions the particle can be captured in the channeling mode and perform periodic oscillations along the surface of the crystal. The spectrum, angular distribution and polarization of radiation are calculated. The emission spectrum of a single particle is discrete and it extends up to very large numbers of harmonics. If the magnetic field is much weaker than the electric field of atoms, the frequency range of radiation of the particle beam does not depend on magnetic field and is defined solely by the energy of the particles and by the surface averaged potential, though the frequency of the first harmonic is defined only by the magnetic field. In case of channeled positrons the characteristic energy of the emitted photons is of order 10?3/2 (eV), where ? is the particle relativistic factor. The main part of radiation is bound to a narrow cone and is polarized largely orthogonal to the surface of the crystal

On X-ray sources based on Cherenkov and quasi-Cherenkov emission mechanisms

A variety of possible schemes of X-ray sources based on Cherenkov like emission mechanisms is considered theoretically. The possibility to increase substantially an angular density of parametric X-ray source under conditions of grazing incidence of emitting relativistic electrons on the reflecting crystallographic plane of a crystalline target is shownye

Asset Management in Grid Companies Using Integrated Diagnostic Devices

The digitization of power grids envisages a transition to new models of fault diagnosis, repair and maintenance of electric power grid equipment. The most promising tools for implementing advanced production asset management strategies are integrated technologies that are based on robotic diagnostic platforms, various hardware–software instruments and smart data analysis systems. The article analyzes other countries’ experience of developing robotic methods of fault diagnosis and maintenance of overhead power transmission lines, which present a major challenge in terms of monitoring, failure prediction and localized repairs. The Cablewalker robotic system was used as an example for identifying the advantages of integrated diagnostic hardware systems as opposed to traditional methods of power grid equipment maintenance and overhaul. Recommendations are given for adopting the technology in grid companies. During trials of the technology on a 2.34-km section of a power transmission line 112 defects were detected versus three that were identified by means of ‘manual’ inspection. A digital twin of the transmission line was created to manage its technical condition with regard to various risks.The work was supported by Act 211 of the Government of the Russian Federation, contract № 02.A03.21.0006

Effect of anomalous photoabsorption on parametric X-ray radiation from relativistic electrons

Parametric X-ray radiation from relativistic electrons moving in a crystal is theoretically investigated in Bragg geometry. It is shown that the effect of anomalous photoabsorption can manifest itself within this geometry of the scattering of the pseudophoton field of a fast particleye
