Influence of the multiple scattering of relativistic electrons on the line width of the backward Parametric X-ray Radiation in the absence of photo absorption Tabrizi Mehdi Parallel Computing Laboratory (2216), Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Razi University of Kermanshah, 67149-67346, Iran Abstract 5The multiple scattering effect on the line width of the backward Parametric X-ray Radiation (PXR) in the extremely 1Bragg geometry, produced by low energy relativistic electrons traversing a single crystal, is discussed.

Basedontheobtainedtheoretical band numerical results for the line width broadening, caused by the multiple scattering of 30 and 50 MeV relativistic e electrons in a Si crystal of varying thicknesses, an experiment could be performed to help to reveal the scattering effect F on the PXR lines in the absence of photo absorption. This leads to a more accurate understanding of the influence of 5scattering phenomenon on the line width of the backward PXR and helps to a better construction of a table-top narrow bandwidth X-ray source for scientific and industrial applications. ] h pKeywords: parametric X-ray radiation, line width, relativistic electrons, multiple scattering - c c 1.
