TY - JOUR A1 - Augustin, Jürgen A1 - Schäfer, Andreas A1 - Greiner, Walter T1 - Quantum-mechanical treatment of high-energy channeling radiation T2 - Physical review. A N2 - An alternative theoretical description of axial electron channeling in the multi-GeV region has been developed. We solve a kinetic equation to evaluate an electron distribution function in axially oriented single crystals. Based on the single-string model, the required matrix elements for radiation and scattering by lattice vibrations are calculated employing solutions of the Dirac equation in cylindrical coordinates. Results obtained for 150-GeV electrons propagating along the <110> axis of germanium are in good agreement with experimental observations.
