Abstract

The possibilities of a previously proposed technique for determining the characteristic sizes of microblocks in mosaic aα-class crystals have been analyzed. Determination is performed according to the ratio between the measured and calculated values for the diffraction suppression of the fixed-energy bremsstrahlung yield. The limits of applicability of the technique have been revealed. It is demonstrated that the technique can be implemented in an electron accelerator with the average energy E e ∼ 30–40 MeV and long baselines making it possible to use crystal-diffraction spectrometers. The influence of microblock sizes on coherent electromagnetic processes in real crystals is discussed.
