Scientific paper
The channeling radiation is emitted by fast charged particles crossing a crystal with a regular lattice structure in a direction nearly parallel to a major crystal axis. The incident particles are trapped in the potential wells due the crystal planes, resulting in a coherence effect in the emitted radiation. Since the total energy of the emitted radiation depends on the square of the Lorentz factor, channeling radiation can be applied to discriminate between different particles with the same momentum in a collimated beam. To study this application of the channeling radiation, we have performed a beam test campaign at the CERN-PS T9 facility using a 500μm thick <110> silicon crystal. A Nal calorimeter has been used in conjunction with a magnetic field to detect the channeling photons produced in the crystal. The electron (positron) - pion identification performance and the energy spectra of channeling photons have been studied. The preliminary results will be shown and the perspectives will be discussed.
