"This systematic and comprehensive monograph is devoted to parametric X-ray radiation (PXR). This radiation is generated by the motion of electrons inside a crystal, whereby the emitted photons are diffracted by the crystal and the radiation intensity critically depends on the parameters of the crystal structure. Nowadays PXR is the subject of numerous theoretical and experimental studies throughout the world."--BOOK JACKET.
Electromagnetic radiation from a charged particle in crystals : qualitative consideration -- Radiation from a charged particle in periodic media : classical theory -- Dynamical theory of parametric-ray radiation -- PXR from nonrelativistic electrons -- Interpretation of experimental results -- High-resolution PXR experiments -- Prospective applications of PXR.
