Tokyo Gakugei University Nukuikita-machi, Koganei, Tokyo, 184, Japan ’ Department of Physics, Teikyou Heisei University Ohoyatsu. Uruido, Ichihara, Chiba, 290-Ol( Japan 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.
1. Introduction The phenomenon of parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) is that the X-ray radiation is observed near the Bragg angle from relativistic electron beams in a single crystal. In 1972, this phenomenon was predicted by Ter-Mikaelian [l]. The process of PXR is considered to be coherent polarization radiation from atoms polarized by the field of the incident electron. However, the origin of PXR is not yet very well understood. PXR is monochromatic and has a narrow angle distribution theoretically. In 1985, PXR was observed in Tomsk, for the first time. On the other hand, there are coherent radiations in a crystal due to the periodic modulation of the trajectories of incident electron, i.e., channeling radiation (CR). When the energy of the incident electron is under 50 MeV, the energy of CR is under 100 keV. Thus, CR is diffracted in a crystal. Therefore, in this paper, we calculate the angular distribution of PXR under the channeling condition (we call PXRC) when the Lorentz factor of the incident electrons: y 5 100. In this case, as the quantum effects appear remarkably about the electron motion, we use a semi-quantum approximation. To solve the wave equation of a channeling electron, we use a continuous approximation for the longitudinal motion parallel to the planes and use a many wave approximation for the transverse motion. We show that the angular distribution of PXRC of electron beams has an interesting shape, and a very strong peak compared to PXR

is obtained at the Bragg angle at a certain energy of the incident electron. We compare the intensity of PXRC in the case of a positron with that in the case of an electron.

If the value of the denominator is zero in Eq. (13) (i.e., the value of Eq. (13) is infinity), then “a real photon” is V.

Assuming that the z axis is directed along the longi~dinal motion and x axis is perpendicular to the channeling planes and where 6 is the angle between k and the z axis, + is the polar angle of the vector k in the x, y plane. When the electron is under channeling conditions, the angular dis~bution of photons near the Bragg angle is different from PXR. We calculate the angular distribution under the following conditions. 15-50 MeV electron beams are channeled along (110) planes and CR photons are diffracted by (111) planes in silicon.

Fig. 1 shows the potential of an incident electron, corrected for the contribution from neighboring planes, for a (110) plane in silicon; the squares of the wave-function from Pq. (4) are also shown. In the case of y = 100, photons forming four concentric circles are obtained from diffracted CR in addition to PXR (Fig. 2). However, the

photons radiated in the direction of the longitudinal motion of the incident electron satisfy the Bragg condition. (The radiated photons for the each transition of (4 + 31, (3 --f 2). (2 --$ 1) and (1 -+ 0) satisfy this condition corresponding with each value of r.> In this case, the intensity of PXRC is some thousands times stronger than PXR under the same conditions (see Table 1 and Fig. 3). When the value of y is little less than these values, these peaks are much smaller than that of PXR. These peaks are explained as diffracted virtual photons, kinematically. Incidentally, we compare the angular distribution of the radiation in the case of positron incidence with that of electron incidence. As the potential for a positron is almost harmonica1 in the crystal, the difference of the energy level is almost the same. Thus, the angular distribution of PXRC makes one thick circle. The transition probability is more than that in the case of electron. According to our calcula-

tions, the intensity of PXRC by positrons is one order higher than that by electrons. As a result, we show the angular distribution of PXRC, but a kinematical theory does not predict the intensity of diffracted CR. To estimate the intensity, a dynamical theory must be used. However, the kinematical formula can easily explain the places where the intensity of PXRC is most strong.
