Abstract

The work investigates the spectral transmittance of corundum (Al2O3) crystal plates before and after irradiation by an electron beam. It reveals the fact that even with a significant irradiation time, the spectral transparency of the plates changes slightly. Moreover, it demonstrates that for a wavelengths of ∼300 nm, the transparency of the sample remains almost stable, while for shorter wavelengths brightening of the corundum plate is obtained. It is concluded that the use of corundum crystals as Cherenkov radiators for detecting of charged particles beams is prospective.
