Based on the principles of nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics, the kinetic theory of de-channeling of high-energy particles from planar channels of a crystal have been deduced. The de-channeling rate coefficient is considered from the point of view of the transition of a fast particle from the directional motion mode to the state of chaotic motion. The corresponding equation have been obtained that takes into account both the coherent nature of the diffraction of a particle beam in a regular single crystal and the inelastic scattering of channeled particles by electrons and phonons. An analytical solution of this equation have been obtained on the class of confluent hypergeometric function using which the de-channeling rate constant Re have been calculated. It have been shown that up to second-order terms in terms of the interaction potential the constant Re is inversely proportional to the relaxation time of the system tph. In calculating tph the polarization of space by a fast charged particle is not taken into account. The temperature and isotopic dependences of the de-channeling rate have been obtained.
