Abstract The ionization loss spectra of high-energy negatively charged particles which move in the planar channeling mode in a silicon crystal are studied with the use of numerical simulation. The case when the crystal thickness is on the order of the dechanneling length $$l_d$$ld is considered. It is shown that in this case the shape of the spectrum noticeably depends on $$l_d$$ld. The evolution of various characteristic parameters of the spectrum with the change of $$l_d$$ld is investigated. A method of the experimental determination of $$l_d$$ld on the basis of the measurement of the ionization loss spectrum is proposed.

Neutrinos offered the greatest surprises in high energy physics during the last decades. In this chapter we review the main milestones of this passionate history: the first neutrino beams which established the separate neutrino identities, the Gargamelle discovery of the weak neutral currents, the LEP determination of three light neutrino species and the discovery of the intriguing phenomenon of neutrino oscillations. The experimental determination of the neutrino mass matrix elements is still in progress with several experiments either taking data or planned for the near future. We end with the present theoretical puzzles and the experiments which may help to solve them.

AbstractSingle crystals of the in situ composite TaSi2-Si are candidates for wide bandpass monochromators and analyzers for x-ray experiments. Two large crystals (32 × 39 × 7 mm3 and 32 x 39 x 30 mm3) were studied in detail using 115 keV synchrotron radiation at the BESSRC beamline at the APS. For transmission geometry, the Si(111) reflection and 39 mm crystal thickness, rocking curve widths of 95 arc sec with reflectivities of 50% were measured over the entire crystal. Turning the crystal to an angle of 45° to the incident beam and translating it through the beam allowed investigation of the influence of crystal thickness on diffracted intensity. For sample thicknesses ranging between 5 mm and 12.5 mm, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the rocking curve increased linearly from 29 arc sec to 53 arc sec. The greatest gain in integrated intensity was obtained for 8-9 mm thickness where FWHM = 40 arc sec. If this crystal were used as a monochromator for synchrotron radiation, it would provide 40 times more intensity than a perfect silicon crystal and an energy bandwidth of 1 keV at 115 keV photon energy. With the increase of the rocking curve FWHM, a plateau across the peak maximum developed; its width increased from 5 arc sec to 25 arc sec when the crystal thickness increased from 5 mm to 12.5 mm, respectively. This plateau allows these crystals to be used as analyzer crystals in diffraction experiments, i.e., as very narrow slits to suppress background. A plateau width of about 5-20 arc sec for the analyzer crystal is needed to insure that the entire intensity scattered from a sample is delivered to the detector. The simple expedient of changing the crystal thickness alters the plateau width of the analyzer crystal and tunes its acceptance to the needs of the sample under study.
