Gennady V. Kovalev
TL;DR
This paper analyzes the scattering behavior of relativistic charged particles in a uniformly bent crystal, deriving deflection functions that align well with experimental data on volume reflection of protons, and explores scattering on ring potentials across impact parameters.
Contribution
It provides a relativistic classical mechanics framework for understanding volume reflection and refraction of particles in bent crystals, with expressions matching experimental results.
Findings
Deflection functions agree with experimental data
Features of scattering on ring potentials are characterized
Relativistic effects are incorporated into classical scattering analysis
Abstract
The scattering of fast charged particles in a bent crystal has been analyzed in the framework of relativistic classical mechanics. The expressions obtained for the deflection function are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data for the volume reflection of relativistic protons obtained in [1,2,3]. The features of the scattering of the particles on ring potentials are considered in a wide range of impact parameters
