In this paper, a review of the theory appropriate to different kinematics domains is described, concentrating on the effects occurring at extreme fields, including strong field synchrotron radiation, channeling radiation, bremsstrahlung, and photon interactions.Abstract:
Crystals present a uniquely simple environment for the investigation of strong electromagnetic fields. When energetic charged particles are incident on crystals close to major crystallographic directions, their electromagnetic interactions depend crucially on the kinematic conditions. The coherence of the crystalline field can produce very strong electric fields in the rest frame of the particle, exceeding the so-called Schwinger field or quantum critical field. In that domain, the radiation emission takes a substantial part of the electron energy and the ``formation zone'' changes character. In this review the theory appropriate to the different kinematics domains is described, concentrating on the effects occurring at extreme fields. Properties discussed include strong field synchrotron radiation, channeling radiation, bremsstrahlung, and photon interactions. Applications are given to radiation sources, bending of particle beams, and sources of polarized GeV photons.read more

Physics Opportunities of a Fixed-Target Experiment using the LHC Beams
TL;DR: In this article, a fixed-target experiment using the proton and lead-ion beams of the LHC extracted by a bent crystal was proposed, and the results showed that the beam can be used to study the properties of the Sivers single-spin asymmetry, the transversity distribution and possibly of polarized parton distributions.

Notes on black-hole evaporation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined various aspects of black-hole evaporation and proposed a technique for replacing the collapse by boundary conditions on the past horizon, which retains the essential features of the collapse while eliminating some of the difficulties.
