Abstract
X rays emitted by relativistic electrons traversing a system of parallel atomic planes of a crystal are considered. The spectral, angular, and polarization characteristics of emitted photons are studied theoretically simultaneously for two coherent emission mechanisms, namely, the coherent bremsstrahlung and parametric X rays. Based on the results obtained, an optimal design of the experiment on studying the effect of interference of these emission mechanisms on the polarization of photons is calculated. The developed experimental facility is described.
