Approximate solutions of the Dirac equation are found for ultrarelativistic particles moving in a periodic potential, which depends only on one coordinate, transverse to the largest component of the momentum of the incoming particle. As an example we employ these solutions to calculate the radiation emission of positrons and electrons trapped in the planar potential found between the (110) planes in Silicon. This allows us to compare with the semi-classical method of Baier, Katkov and Strakhovenko, which includes the effect of spin and photon recoil, but neglects the quantization of the transverse motion. For high-energy electrons, the high-energy part of the angularly integrated photon energy spectrum calculated with the found wave functions differs from the corresponding one calculated with the semi-classical method. However, for lower particle energies it is found that the angularly integrated emission energy spectra obtained via the semi-classical method is in fairly good agreement with the full quantum calculation except that the positions of the harmonic peaks in photon energy and the photon emission angles are shifted.

We investigate the 2nd order process of two photons being emitted by a high-energy electron dressed in the strong background electric field found between the planes in a crystal. The strong crystalline field combined with ultra relativistic electrons
is one of very few cases where the Schwinger field can be experimentally achieved in the electrons rest frame. The radiation being emitted, the so-called channeling radiation, is a well studied phenomenon. However only the first order diagram corresponding to emission of a single photon has been studied so far. We elaborate on how the 2 photon emission process should be understood in terms of a two-step versus a one-step process, i.e., if one can consider one photon being emitted after the other, or if there is also a contribution where the two photons are emitted simultaneously. From the calculated full probability we see that the two-step contribution is simply the product of probabilities for single photon emission while the additional one-step terms are, mainly, interferences due to several possible intermediate virtual states. These terms can contribute significantly when the crystal is thin. Therefore, in addition, we see how one can, for a thick crystal, calculate multiple photon emissions quickly by neglecting the one-step terms, which represents a solution of the problem of quantum radiation reaction in a crystal beyond the usually applied constant field approximation. We explicitly calculate an example of 180 GeV electrons in a thin Silicon crystal and argue why it is, for experimental reasons, more feasible to see the one-step contribution in a crystal experiment than in a laser experiment.
We investigate neutron propagation in a middle layer of a planar waveguide which is a tri-layer thin film. A narrow divergent microbeam emitted from the end face of the film is registered. The neutron channeling length is experimentally measured as a
function of the guiding channel width. Experimental results are compared with calculations.
Precise information about the temporal mode of optical states is crucial for optimizing their interaction efficiency between themselves and/or with matter in various quantum communication devices. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate a meth
od of determining both the real and imaginary components of a single photons temporal density matrix by measuring the autocorrelation function of the photocurrent from a balanced homodyne detector at multiple local oscillator frequencies. We test our method on single photons heralded from biphotons generated via four-wave mixing in an atomic vapor and obtain excellent agreement with theoretical predictions for several settings.
The usage of a Crystalline Undulator (CU) has been identified as a promising solution for generating powerful and monochromatic $gamma$-rays. A CU was fabricated at SSL through the grooving method, i.e., by the manufacturing of a series of periodical
grooves on the major surfaces of a crystal. The CU was extensively characterized both morphologically via optical interferometry at SSL and structurally via X-ray diffraction at ESRF. Then, it was finally tested for channeling with a 400 GeV/c proton beam at CERN. The experimental results were compared to Monte Carlo simulations. Evidence of planar channeling in the CU was firmly observed. Finally, the emission spectrum of the positron beam interacting with the CU was simulated for possible usage in currently existing facilities.
Ionization of atoms and molecules by absorption of a light pulse results in electron wavepackets carrying information on the atomic or molecular structure as well as on the dynamics of the ionization process. These wavepackets can be described as a c
oherent sum of waves of given angular momentum, called partial waves, each characterized by an amplitude and a phase. The complete characterization of the individual angular momentum components is experimentally challenging, requiring the analysis of the interference between partial waves both in energy and angle. Using a two-photon interferometry technique based on extreme ultraviolet attosecond and infrared femtosecond pulses, we characterize the individual partial wave components in the photoionization of the 2p shell in neon. The study of the phases of the angular momentum channels allows us to unravel the influence of short-range, correlation and centrifugal effects. This approach enables the complete reconstruction of photoionization electron wavepackets in time and space, providing insight into the photoionization dynamics.
