In the presence of an external Aharonov-Bohm potential, we investigate the two QED processes of the emission of a bremsstrahlung photon by an electron, and the production of an electron-positron pair by a single photon. Calculations are…

Particles scattered off the nuclear target acquire a polarization if the nuclei have a non zero analyzing power. This effect is enhanced when particles traverse a bent crystal. Such enhancement under certain assumptions allows one to…

The bremsstrahlung cross section for relativistic electrons in a crystal is split into the sum of coherent and incoherent parts (the last is due to a thermal motion of atoms in the crystal). Although the spectrum of incoherent radiation in…
