High-energy electrons have successfully been channelled in various crystals. These electrons lose a large fraction of their energy as bremsstrahlung photons within a fraction of a millimetre of crystal. The authors argue that this high flux of focused photons offers a promising way to study the production of new heavy particles like, for example the Higgs in the collision of two electron beams channelled in the same crystal.
