A beam of tagged photons emitted coherently is obtained from a silicon single crystal placed in an electron beam from the Serpukhov proton accelerator. The electron energy is E/sub e/=31 GeV, the beam intensity is 4 x 10/sup 4/ particles per pulse of duration 1.7 sec. The photon intensity in each of five almost equal energy intervals in the range k=8.2--24.2 GeV is I approx. (10/sup -1/--10/sup -2/)..gamma../e/sup -/, and the linear polarization is estimated at P approx. 50--20%. A method is described for aligning the single crystal in the proton-accelerator electron beam. Unexplained narrow radiation intensity peaks are observed when the single-crystal orientation is varied.
