Ky. Amosov et al., INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON PARAMETRIC X-RAY-INTENSITY, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 47(3), 1993, pp. 2207-2209
We have measured the temperature dependence of parametric x-ray radiat
ion (PXR) from a Si single crystal bombarded by 900-MeV electrons. The
radiation intensity is appreciably enhanced when the crystal is coole
d to liquid-nitrogen temperature as compared with the case for room te
mperature. The enhancement factors are larger for the higher-order ref
lections and are quantitatively consistent with the assumption that th
e PXR intensities are proportional to the squared Debye-Waller factor.
