Propagation of non-thermal phonons induced by alpha-particle bombardment in BaF2

We have measured the time dependence of the flux of non-thermal phonons generated by α particles in a BaF2 single crystal of mass 1 g using a Series Array of Superconducting Tunnel Junctions. Taking advantage of the almost perfect elastic symmetry of BaF2, we approximate the equations of quasidiffus...
