Use of Crystals for High Energy Photon Beam Linear Polarization Conversion into Circular
نویسنده
چکیده
The possibility to convert the photon beam linear polarization into circular one at photon energies of hundreds GeV with the use of crystals is considered. The energy and orientation dependencies of refractive indexes are investigated in case of diamond, silicon and germanium crystal targets. To maximize the values for figure of merit, the corresponding crystal optimal orientation angles and thickness are found. The degree of circular polarization and intensity of photon beam are estimated and possibility of experimental realization is discussed.

Sensitivity of single crystals to the circular polarization of high - energy γ - quanta
It is shown that single crystals are sensitive to the initial circular polarization of γ-quanta with energies in tens GeV and more. The possibility of measurement of γ-beam polarization is discussed. The obtained results may be useful for creation of polarimeters for high energy beams of γ-quanta. 1 Introduction The birefringence of γ-quanta with energies > 1 GeV propagating in single crystals ...

متن کاملPropagation of polarized high-energy photons in crystals
The density matrix is obtained for short-wavelength photons passing through a medium. For sufficiently large thicknesses of a target this matrix is expressed by the forward scattering amplitude of a photon. For multi-GeV photons scattering via virtual e+ e− pairs is the most important process. Its amplitude in a crystal is calculated. The results obtained are used to find the optimal thicknesse...

Problems of the experimental observation of the birefringence of high energy γ-quanta propagating in single crystals are discussed. 1 Introduction The birefringence of γ-quanta with energies > 1 GeV propagating in single crystals was predicted in [1]. The main process by which γ-quanta are absorbed in single crystals is the electron-positron pair production. The cross section of the process dep...

The measurements of electron Channeling Radiation (CR) have been performed at ELBE linear electron accelerator of the Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. The aim of performing these experiments was to optimize radiation yield and spectral line width of CR in order to apply channeling radiation for preparing a monochromatic X-ray source. Diamond crystals can be used in relatively high electron...
