On transition radiation by a low-energy relativistic “half-bare” electron

International audienceThe problem of the transition radiation generated by a relativistic electron, which has a nonequilibrium electromagnetic field around it, at its impinging upon a conducting plate is considered. The peculiarities of radiation by a sufficiently low-energy “half-bare” electron at its oblique incidence on the plate are investigated. It is shown that in the considered energy range it is possible to observe certain radiation properties which come out of sight at much higher energies. It is proposed to investigate experimentally such properties for the incident electrons at several MeV energies
