Abstract
New computer-simulation results reveal the source of a previously found difference between analytical and simulation calculations of channeling minimum yield. The difference stems from a focusing effect on ion trajectories in the simulation method which cannot be present if statistical equilibrium exists as is assumed in the analytical method. It is concluded that statistical equilibrium is generally an unsound basis for channeling calculations.Keywords
