X-Ray Transition Radiation
arXiv:2607.21684
Abstract
The monograph is devoted to theoretical and experimental studies of transition radiation produced by fast charged particles traversing media with interfaces. Particular attention is paid to X-ray transition radiation (XTR) generated at a single interface as well as in a single plate or in a stack of plates. The foundations of the general theory of transition radiation are presented, and the results of experimental studies of XTR properties are given together with a comparison with theoretical predictions. TRDs of high-energy particles used at modern accelerators and in cosmic-ray physics are described.
This is a book, X-Ray Transition Radiation, by the discoverer of the phenomenon, Professor Garibian Grigor, and his colleague, Professor Yang Shi. The book also includes a Quantum Field Theory treatment of the phenomena. The translation of the same-named 1983 book is by David Yang, the son of one of the authors and the founder of ABBYY
