Abstract The transition radiation (TR) from ultrarelativistic particles is considered. It is shown that performing collimation of the TR from the periodic N -foil stack (parameters of which are selected in a appropriate manner) one obtains the spectrum of the TR which has a form of a peak position of which ω 1 depends on the plasma frequency and the thickness of the radiator foils. The height and width of the peak depend on the collimation angle ϑ c . The height of the peak for given ϑ c is… CONTINUE READING
