NUMERICAL CALCULATION OF PARAMETRIC X-RAY RADIATION BY RELATIVISTIC ELECTRONS CHANNELED IN A SI CRYSTAL

Abstract Recently, a new type of radiation called “parametric X-ray radiation”, is of special interest and several experimental studies have been reported. By using the kinematical theory, we calculate differential scattering cross section of parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) and diffracted channeling radiation (CR) by (111) planes in silicon for 15–50 MeV electron beams channeled along (110) planes.
