Investigation of Planar Channeling Radiation on Diamond and Quartz Crystals at Electron Energies between 14 and 34 MeV and Probing the Influence of Ultrasonic Waves on Channeling Radiation

The first measurements of CR at the Radiation source ELBE of the Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf have been performed in the fall of 2003, where the most important attempt for an application of CR in radiobiological research was the optimization of its yield and spectral line width as well. Since diamond single crystals have been found to probably be the most suitable ones for an intense CR production because of their outstanding properties to withstand rather high average electron currents, a first measurement series was directed to the studying of the dependence of the yield of planar CR on the thickness of the diamond crystal
