Research of the polarization bremsstrahlung of relativistic electrons in polycrystalline targets

Abstract:

The collimated spectra of polarization bremsstrahlung (PB) produced by 7 MeV electrons in Al, Ni, Cu, Mo and W poly crystalline foils are measured and the angular dependences of the PB characteristics are studied. A comparison of the experimental results with theoretical predictions is performed. Polarization bremsstrahlung sensitivity to texture and grain size of the target in the backscattering geometry is shown. The possibility of developing a new method based on the characteristics measurement of the coherent PB component for the diagnostics of polycrystalline materials is considered.
