Abstract
Polarization bremsstrahlung from relativistic electrons moving in a medium consisting of very small crystals oriented at random is studied theoretically. The results of this analysis predict a sharp dependence of the spectral and angular features of the radiation on the crystal dimensions and on the angle of observation. The possibility of developing, on the basis of the phenomena considered in the present study, a newmet hod for studying lowly ordered media is highlighted.
