DIFFRACTION RADIATION OF PARTICLE PASSING BY IMPEDANCE WEDGE

The diffraction radiation field generated by the charged particle passing by the perfectly conductive or impedance wedge is considered. With perfect conductivity, the wedge rotation around the edge fixed along with the straight particle motion line, does not change the total radiated energy. When the motion to the edge is almost parallel to a face of wedge then an increase of impedance from zero increases the radiated energy.

RADIATION OF CHARGE PASSING BY IMPEDANCE WEDGE

The diffraction radiation generated by a charge passing by a plasma wedge is considered in impedance approximation. In the perfect conductivity limit, the total radiated energy is not varying with the wedge rotation around the edge fixed along with the charge motion line. The impedance increase may lead to the total radiated energy increase, due to effective surface wave generation, when the charge motion to the edge is almost parallel to a face of wedge.
