Abstract
The Glauber theory description of
particle- and nucleus-crystal Coulomb interactions at high-energy
is developed. The allowance for the lattice thermal vibrations
is shown to produce strong absorption effect which is of prime importance for
quantitative understanding of the coherent Coulomb
excitation of ultra-relativistic particles and nuclei passing through the
crystal.
