The threshold nature of the energy dependence of parametric X-ray radiation
Abstract
The energy dependence of the yield of the parametric X-ray radiation of electrons in diamond single crystals is investigated experimentally in a synchrotron. In the experiments, an electron beam is directed at an angle of 44.14 deg to the (100) plane of a 0.35-mm thick diamond single crystal, with the electron energy varying from 150 to 900 MeV. Radiation spectra are presented for electron energies of 300, 600, and 900 MeV. An analysis of experimental results suggests that the mechanism of parametric radiation is responsible for the main contribution to the monochromatic X-ray radiation emitted by charged particles in the Bragg direction when passing through the crystal.
