Transient radiation in polymethyl methacrylate

This paper aims to contribute to transient radiation experiments. The measurement demonstrated the registerability of transient radiation, generated on polymethyl methacrylate by electrons in the energy region up to 100 keV. The spatial distribution of the radiated energy in the u.v. and visible region was registrated. The results of measurement in the u.v. region are in good agreement with theoretical distribution.The author expresses his thanks ot Dr. J. Obdrálek from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, for his valuable advice and comments.
