Abstract
In principle, the dynamics of channeling illustrate many physical features related to chaos. Theoretical models of a channeled particle in an idealized lattice exhibit a rich variety of both regular and chaotic motion. Unfortunately, non-periodic features of real lattices, such as lattice vibrations, tend to destroy the distinction between regular and chaotic motion. Chaos may become a tool for understanding channeling only if these additional random effects can be incorporated into a useful theory.
