An experimental investigation of a new type of source of hard (10-40 keV) x-rays, which are produced by passing 700-MeV electrons through a compound target (multifoil structure + crystal), was performed on Sirius synchrotron in Tomsk. It was shown that for a mosaic crystal the intensity of the diffracted resonance x-ray transition radiation is much higher than the intensity of the parametric x-ray radiation of the electrons. The angular distributions of these radiations are analyzed. The spectral densities of the transition radiation, diffracted transition radiation, and parametric x-ray radiation of the electrons are compared. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
