The rearrangement of the electromagnetic field of a charged particle at a transition between media with different electric permittivity leads to the emission of electromagnetic radiation, so-called transition radiation. The chapter begins with the description of the characteristics of the radiation at a boundary, such as angular distribution, energy spectrum, dependence on the Lorentz factor γ‎ and photon yield. Then it is shown that a sufficient photon yield can only be achieved with a large number of transitions which is usually accomplished with stacks of thin foils. The interference phenomena and their dependence on the coherence conditions, parametrised by the ‘formation length’ are explained in detail. The explanation includes also threshold and saturation effects on the measurement of the Lorentz factor γ‎. Finally, typical transition radiation detectors are presented.

Optical Transition Radiation

Transition radiation from relativistic electrons is investigated in an ultrasonic superlattice excited in a finite thickness plate. In the quasi-classical approximation, formulae are derived for the vector potential of the electromagnetic field and for the spectral-angular distribution of the radiation intensity. The acoustic waves generate new resonance peaks in the spectral and angular distribution of the radiation intensity. The heights of the peaks can be tuned by choosing the parameters of the acoustic wave.

High Power Radiation

The Smith-Purcell radiation of a charged particle moving in a periodic structure is analysed theoretically. The considered structure consists of two planar diffraction gratings with different periods which are formed by parallel conducting wires. The analytical expression for the spectral-angular distribution of radiation is obtained. It is shown that the angular distribution of radiation can be made narrower by using two gratings instead of one, and radiation intensity can be manipulated by parallel relative shift of gratings. The obtained results are of great importance for the research and development of high power radiation sources based on volume free-electron lasers.

Kaluza Klein

The path-integral method is used to derive a generalized Schrödinger-type equation from the Kaluza–Klein Lagrangian for a charged particle in an electromagnetic field. The compactness of the fifth dimension and the properties of the physical paths are used to decompose this equation into its infinite components, one of them being similar to the Klein–Gordon equation.
