Polarization of transition radiation on some sorts of targets

Abstract

The problem of transition radiation under impact of relativistic particles under small angle to the atomic string of a crystal is considered. The conditions under which the non-uniformity of the electron density along the string is not substantial are obtained. In this case the problem of transition radiation is reduced to the problem of the particle radiation on the thin fiber-like dielectric target. The formulae for the spectral-angular distribution of transition radiation under both regular and random collisions of a particle with the set of fiber-like targets are obtained. The radiation of the particle on a single atomic plane and on a set of planes in crystal is also considered.
