Possibility for Volume Production and Radiative Polarization of High Energy Electron-Positron Pairs in a Bent Single Crystal

摘要

Some problems of electron-positron pair production for very energetic photons in strong fields between crystallographic planes are considered. It is predicted to be the effect of volume pair production and radiative polarization of channeled particles in a bent single crystal placed in a photon beam with noticeable divergence. The possibilities to produce beams of transverse polarized electrons/positrons with this method at modern proton accelerators are estimated. (Atomindex citation 16:069289)
