Self-induced radiation of 4.3 GeV electron beam in crystalline medium

TL;DR

This paper explores how a 4.3 GeV electron beam interacts with crystalline media, revealing nonlinear gamma-ray yields and the influence of crystal boundaries on electromagnetic processes, suggesting vacuum coherence effects.

Contribution

It introduces the concept that crystal boundaries induce coherent vacuum properties affecting electron interactions, a novel insight into radiation phenomena in crystals.

Findings

Gamma-ray yields increase non-linearly with beam intensity.

Crystal boundaries play a crucial role in electromagnetic interactions.

Coherent vacuum effects are implicated in observed phenomena.

Abstract

Investigates of interactions of a relativistic electron beam with single crystals have shown that yields of gamma rays,their energies and outgoing angles grow non-linearly with the beam intensity especially at small incidence angles of electrons relative to crystalline planes and axes.It is observed peculiar role of a crystal boundary in these phenomena.Ona can consider coherent properties of physical vacuum, manifested near the crystal boundary are responsible for correlation processes in electromagnetic interactions of the relativistic electrons.
