Probing channeling radiation influenced by ultrasound

Wagner, W.; Azadegan, B.; Büttig, H.; Grigoryan, L. S.; Sobiella, M.; Pawelke, J.

The effect of ultrasonic vibrations excited in quartz single crystals on channeling radiation (CR) emitted by relativistic electrons was probed experimentally at medium energy at the radiation source ELBE.

Essential preconditions for these investigations have been created by preceding series of measurements of planar CR on alpha-quartz as well as by extensive theoretical work concerning the treatment of the influence of ultrasound (US) on CR emission. First dedicated experiments became possible because the interaction phenomena and expected effects could certainly be predicted and simulated.

Compressional waves of suitable frequency were induced in x-cut quartz crystals by means of appropriately designed RF cavities applying the reverse piezoelectric effect. Although at the available electron energies the necessary resonance condition has been reached only for selected transitions of electrons channeled along specific crystallographic planes of the quartz single crystal, the occurrence of US stimulated CR should be evident.
