Ro. Avakian et al., CONVERSION OF THE LINEAR-POLARIZATION OF GAMMA-QUANTA BEAMS INTO CIRCULAR WITH THE HELP OF LASERS AND SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 115(1-4), 1996, pp. 387-389
The energy dependence of the quarter wavelength plate thickness of las
er ''light targets'' and single crystals when the gamma beam with ener
gy greater than 100 GeV passes in parallel to the crystallographic pla
nes is calculated. The results confirm the feasibility of performing s
uch experiments with crystals at present.
