Experimental study of coherent transition radiation from relativistic electrons in a dihedral angle

Angular intensity distributions for transition radiation excited by a beam of relativistic electrons in the emitter in the form of a dihedral angle are measured in the millimeter range. The angle is formed by the intersection of two conducting planes. The source of radiation is a microtron with an electron energy of 7.4 MeV. We analyze the effect of the magnitude of the dihedral angle of the emitter, the position of the electron transition point on the surface of the angle, and the direction of motion of electrons on the angular distribution of radiation intensity. It is shown that the spectral and angular distributions of radiation intensity in the dihedral angle substantially differ from analogous distributions for a particle intersecting a planar conducting surface. The possibility of using radiation to measure the energy, spatial position, and direction of motion of charges is considered.

The angular distributions of forward radiation (when the particle exits the dihedral angle) and backward radiation (when the particle enters the dihedral angle) are shown to differ significantly.     

Transition radiation from relativistic electrons crossing a perfectly conducting conical surface: Calculation and experiment

The angular distributions of the transition radiation intensity when a charged particle passes through the vertex of a perfectly conducting conical surface have been calculated. The radiation generated both when the particle exits the conductor and when it falls on the conductor has been considered. The angular distributions of the intensity of the transition radiation generated by a bunch of relativistic electrons have been measured in the millimeter wavelength range. A microtron with a particle energy of 7.4 MeV was the source of electrons. The influence of the particle injection direction and the conical-surface opening angle on the angular distribution of the radiation intensity has been studied. The measurements have shown that the distribution of the radiation generated by a charge when it enters the horn differs significantly in pattern from the distribution when it exits the horn.     

Spatial distribution of transition radiation of relativistic particles in the dihedral angle formed by perfectly conductive planes

Spatial distributions of transition radiation intensity of particles entering the dihedral angle and escaping from it are calculated. It was shown that radiation of escaping charge at any opening of the dihedral angle ?? is concentrated near the motion direction. If the particle enters the angle, the radiation distribution is defined by the opening angle. At opening angles ?? = ??/n, radiation is concentrated near the direction of actual charge motion when n is an even number and near the direction of image charge motion when n is an odd number. At other opening angles, the spatial distribution of entering particle radiation has two maxima whose positions are defined by the injection angle.     

Transition radiation in a dihedral angle formed by perfectly conducting planes

The spatial distribution of the field of transition radiation generated by a relativistic particle flying into a dihedral angle formed by perfectly conducting plane surfaces is determined.

Application of transition radiation in a small dihedral angle to detection of relativistic particles

The features of transition radiation excited by a relativistic particle in a dihedral angle with an opening comparable to the angular divergence of transition radiation are considered. It is shown that the radiation distribution in the dihedral angle is more sensitive to the direction of emitting particle motion and to the position of the surface intersection by the particle, than the radiation excited when a plane surface is intersected. It is indicated that the spectral radiation density in the small dihedral angle is higher than the density of radiation excited when a plane surface is intersected. These features offer additional opportunities to use transition radiation in systems for measuring particle parameters.     

Transition radiation detectors with a dihedral angle or a cone as a radiator

The spectral and angular distributions of the transition radiation produced by a charge crossing an interface shaped like a dihedral angle or a cone are considered. The effects of the variation in the dihedral angle and cone angle, the location of the crossing point on the interface, and the direction of the charge motion on the spatial distribution of the radiation are discussed. The radiation characteristics of the particles that are incident on the interface and those leaving it are given. The features of transition-radiation detectors with dihedral-angle or cone radiators and detectors with plane-surface radiators are compared.

The effect of the direction of motion of the particle and of the position of the point at which the particle intersects the plane on radiation parameters is considered. Transient radiation distributions in a trihedral angle are also obtained.

Angular distribution of ejected electrons at the laser-cluster interactions

The histograms of deflection angles of electrons ejected from Xe clusters irradiated by femtosecond super-intense laser pulses are presented. The dependence of the angular distribution on the peak laser intensity, the pulse duration, and the cluster position is considered. A clear relationship between the final electron energy and the deflection angle is shown. The deflection angles are calculated by solving the relativistic equation of motion taking into account the Lorentz force and the Coulomb field of the ionized cluster. The ions in the cluster undergo sequential multiple ionization up to charge multiplicity Z = 26. The measurements of the electron angular distributions allow us to reproduce the imaging dynamics of outer ionization of the cluster at the leading edge of the relativistic femtosecond laser pulse.

Magnetic phase transitions in TbNi<Subscript>5</Subscript> single crystal: Bulk properties and neutron diffraction studies

The angular dependence of the intensity of CK_α radiation measured from a film of oriented carbon nanotubes shows an increase in the yield of x-ray fluorescence along the growth direction of the nanotubes. The angular distribution of the intensity of scattered x rays is close in magnitude to the angular distribution of the directivity of nanotubes in the film that is determined by analyzing an electron-microscope image. To explain the propagation of radiation along the nanotubes, two mechanisms are proposed on the basis of reflection from inner walls of a tube (channeling) and an anomalous dispersion of CK_α photons in the carbon medium.     

X-ray radiation toward relativistic electrons incident on a flat target

Features of X-ray radiation emitted toward the velocity vector of relativistic electrons incident on a flat target are discussed. The contribution of polarization bremsstrahlung (PB) considered as scattering of the intrinsic field of a fast charge by electrons of the medium is estimated taking into account its dispersion properties. Spectral-angular characteristics of coherent and incoherent PB are analyzed for unstructured and structured targets. Such PB feature not only different intensities, but also different angular dependences reaching a maximum near the velocity direction of a fast charge. It is shown that coherent PB emitted from the target surface layer is characterized by an extraordinary, i.e., inversely proportional to the squared frequency, intensity dependence.
