Investigation of Parametric X–Radiation under small Bragg angles at MAMI — •G. Kube, C. Ay, H. Backe, N. Clawiter, M. El Ghazaly, F. Hagenbuck, K.-H. Kaiser, W. Lauth, H. Mannweiler, H. Rochholz, and T. Weber — Institut für Kernphysik, Universität Mainz, J.-J. Becher Weg 45, 55099 Mainz

When a charged ultrarelativistic particle passes through a perfect crystal the particle field can be diffracted in the vicinity of the Bragg angle. The emitted radiation is called quasi–Čerenkov radiation or parametric X–radiation. The energy ℏω of the X–ray photons which are most efficiently radiated is predicted for silicon with plasma frequency ωp = 31 eV/ ℏ and a Lorentz factor γ = 1672, as for the Mainz Microtron MAMI, to be ℏω = γ ℏωp = 51.8 keV [1]. Angular distributions of (111), (333) and (444) reflections for silicon single crystals of various thicknesses between 100 and 500 µm have been investigated at MAMI for Bragg angles θB ≤ 5. The measured intensity distributions will be compared with theoretical calculations.
