Thermoelastic effect of a fast particle in a solid
Volovik V.D., Kalinichenko A.I., Kobizskoi V.I., Lazurik-El'tsufin V.T.
We estimate the acoustic impulse produced in a solid by a gamma quantum of ultrahigh energy or by a relativistic multiply-charged ion. We discuss the possibility of acoustic registration of single gamma quanta and relativistic multiply-charged ions.
