Self-focusing and angular distribution of electrons moving in the field of atomic rows
Khokonov M. Kh.
When relativistic electrons move along atomic rows as they pass through a crystal, their angular distribution as they leave the crystal is quite diiferent from that in the case of an amorphous medium. A radiative self-focusing of electrons with energies of hundreds of GeV is predicted when the electron beam initially has a wide angular divergence.
