| Abstract: | The theory of channeling of proton and antiproton beams is constructed using Newton's equations with a transverse force resulting from the statistical ensemble of atoms of the crystal. The equations of motion are linearized by expanding time in series of the transverse force fluctuation, which plays the role of the small parameter. Stochastic instability of the transverse motion of the channeled particles, characterized by an exponential growth of the second moments of the distribution function with path length, is observed.Institute of Nuclear Physics at Tomsk State University.
