Abstract
The transition radiation of a charged particle in the simplest case of incidence on an infinitely conductive, ideal plane can be described based on the well-known method of images from electrostatics. This method also enables finding the distribution of fields in more complex cases, such as the field of a point particle in the presence of two intersecting conducting planes, the angle between which divides the angle 180° evenly. Based on the method of images, we describe the transition radiation that occurs when a fast charged particle strikes a target consisting of two conducting half-planes intersecting at right angles (from the inside of a dihedral angle). The characteristics of radiation emitted by fast and slow particles are qualitatively examined, and their visual interpretation is given. The possibility of using interference effects arising from radiation for monitoring beams of charged particles is discussed.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Surface Investigation: X-ray, Synchrotron and Neutron Techniques publishes original articles on the topical problems of solid-state physics, materials science, experimental techniques, condensed media, nanostructures, surfaces of thin films, and phase boundaries: geometric and energetical structures of surfaces, the methods of computer simulations; physical and chemical properties and their changes upon radiation and other treatments; the methods of studies of films and surface layers of crystals (XRD, XPS, synchrotron radiation, neutron and electron diffraction, electron microscopic, scanning tunneling microscopic, atomic force microscopic studies, and other methods that provide data on the surfaces and thin films). Articles related to the methods and technics of structure studies are the focus of the journal. The journal accepts manuscripts of regular articles and reviews in English or Russian language from authors of all countries. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
