ABSTRACT

The concept the quasi-temperature of fast particles, much higher than the thermostat temperature, was used to analyze a number of physical phenomena: cooling of a beam of fast protons in an electron gas [113], motion of cascade particles in the crystals in the dynamic phase [114] and the thermalization stage [115,116], thermalization of the relativistic positrons in solids [117,118], motion of fast electrons in a semiconductor in an external electric field [119]. Less commonly, this term was used in the theory of the channeling effect [16]. This section addresses the question of ‘warming up’ of high-energy atomic particles (protons, α-particles, etc.), moving in a crystal in the channeling mode.
