Quantum radiation reaction in aligned crystals beyond the local constant field approximation

We report on experimental spectra of photons radiated by 50-GeV positrons crossing silicon single crystals of thicknesses 1.1, 2.0, 4.2, and 6.2 mm at sufficiently small angles to the (110) planes that their motion effectively is governed by the continuum crystal potential. The experiment covers a r...
