Abstract

Basic properties of radiation of a crystal lattice excited by an axial channeling particle are considered. It is shown that a coherent radiation of atoms occurs if the frequency of oscillations of the channeled particle comes to a resonance with the vibrational mode of the crystal. Spectral and angular distribution of radiation and its polarization are calculated. In case of a relativistic channeled particle, the radiation of atoms is generated into a narrow cone in the direction of a crystallographic axis along which the particle is channeling. The radiation of atoms exited at axial channelling has significant degree of circular polarization.
