Abstract

The possibility to generate an sufficiently intense, monochromatic and directed radiation in the near ultraviolet range was investigated. Such radiation has important practical application n biology and medicine. It is shown that for a certain choice nanotube parameters channeled relativistic positrons in it the bunch will radiate as gamma photons and the “water window” photons also.
