refer to the orientation dependence of ion penetration in crystals.
Channeling:
Ions incident upon the crystal along symmetry axis and planes suffer a series
small-angle scattering that maintain them in the open“channels” and penetrate much further (ions do not get close to lattice sites)
Blocking:
Reduction
the flux
ions
in lattice sites along symmetry axis and planes (“blocking dip”) (From D. Gemmell 1974, Rev. Mod. Phys. 46, 129)

Channeled ions produce more scintillation light (because they loose most of their energy via electronic stopping rather than nuclear stopping)

The potential importance of the channeling effect for direct DM detection was first pointed
subsequently for NaI (Tl) by Drobyshevski (2007) and by the DAMA collaboration (2008). When ions recoiling after a collision with a WIMP move along crystal axes and planes, they give their energy to electrons, so Q = 1 instead of QI = 0.09 and QNa = 0.3

larger
which produces a daily modulation in the measured recoil energy (equivalent to a modulation of the quenching factor)
This daily modulation would be a background free DM signature!
Nassim Bosognia, Paolo Gondolo and I set out more than a year ago to do an analytic calculation to understand channeling and blocking for DM detection, and estimate daiy modulation amplitudes...

Two main T effects: amplitude u1(T) increases with T which increases channneling prob.- but rc also increases with T what decreases the prob.

effect of blocking is important to understand the channeling of recoil nuclei: the channeled fraction of recoils is smaller and it is strongly temperature dependent (so it is negligible at mK).
a WIMP signal, a DM signature without any background (Avignone, Creswell & Nussinov 2008) (with small amplitudes- but larger for halo components with small velocity dispersion)
to get good quantitative results (not available or NaI). Montecarlo simulations may be needed to settle these issues (many are used in other applications of channeling).
