Abstract

A fast-charged particle traversing a crystal emits radiation. The characteristics of this radiation depend strongly on the trajectories the particles follow in the crystal. If the momentum of the particle is nearly parallel to the axis or plane of one of the channels of the crystal then the emitted radiation is strongly peaked at distinct frequencies.
