Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 5, 121001 (2002) [7 pages]Comparison of theory with experiment for positron production from high-energy electrons moving along crystal axes
V. N. Baier and V. M. Strakhovenko Received 25 September 2002; published 5 December 2002 Using the approach developed earlier for the description of the electron-photon showers in axially aligned single crystals, some characteristics of the positron yield measured in recent experiments are calculated. Theoretical estimations display a rather good agreement with experimental results obtained using 3 to 10 GeV electrons aligned to the ⟨111⟩ axis of the tungsten crystals. Such comparison verified that the accuracy of our approach is quite sufficient to make a reliable choice for optimal parameters of the positron source using axially aligned crystals for future linear colliders. ©2002 The American Physical Society
