Method for the production of a periodically bent crystal and its application in a device for the production of electromagnetic radiation<\/h1>\n

How does it work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The present invention makes it possible to realise a periodically bent crystal in which the deformation of the crystalline planes is uniform along a direction perpendicular to them, and follows a sinusoidal course along a direction parallel to them. In addition, a device capable of producing high-intensity electromagnetic radiation with high spectral purity (monochromaticity) has also been developed. <\/p>\n

By striking a periodically bent crystal with a beam of charged particles, directed along its main direction, each particle undergoes a series of successive and identical deflections. This process induces the emission of a sequence of photons having the same frequency, thus enabling the generation of monochromatic, high-intensity, high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. <\/p>\n

Such radiation can be used in a variety of application areas, including nuclear medicine, non-destructive imaging, radioactive waste disposal and the production of rare isotopes.<\/p>\n
