Resonant Diffraction Radiation from an Ultrarelativistic Particle Moving Close to a Tilted Grating

Abstract

A simple model for calculating the diffraction radiation characteristics from an ultrarelativistic charged particle moving close to a tilted ideally conducting strip is developed. Resonant diffraction radiation (RDR) is treated as a superposition of the radiation fields for periodically spaced strips. The RDR characteristics have been calculated as a function of the number of grating elements, tilted angle, and initial particle energy. An analogy with both the resonant transition radiation in absorbing medium and the parametric X-ray radiation is noted.
