Calculation of Positron Channeling Radiation with a Harmonic Potential

We present a detailed calculation of channeling radiation of planar-channeled positrons from crystal targets in the framework of our approach, which was proposed recently. In contrast to previous calculations of channeling radiation in crystals, our calculation takes into account the interference between different transition amplitudes. The development stemmed from the idea that the amplitude for a given process is the sum of the transition amplitudes for each transition to lower state of transverse energy with the same energy differences between bound-bound transitions. It seems that a consistent interpretation is only possible if positrons move in a nearly harmonic planar potential with equidistant energy levels.

On the Question of Interference in Radiation Produced by Relativistic Channeled Particles

Two approaches used in the description of the channeling radiation emitted from relativistic positrons are compared with each other. In the first (traditional) case, the probability of the process is proportional to a sum of absolute squares of the amplitudes of the transition between two states with definite transverse energy levels of the positrons traversing single crystals. In the second case, we begin with calculation of the sum of amplitudes for transition between states with different transverse energy levels for corresponding radiation frequency, and then the sum is squared. One must keep in mind that the latter approach can be used only in the case when positrons move in a nearly harmonic planar potential with equidistant transverse energy levels. It is shown that the calculation based on the second approach can give rise to a peak structure in the spectrum when the number of transverse energy levels is much greater than one.
