Diffraction Radiation from Relativistic Particles - Potylitsyn, Alexander a Ryazanov, Mikhail Ivanovich a Strikhanov, Mikhail Nikolaevich a Tishchenko, Alexey Alexandrovich

This book deals with diffraction radiation, which implies the boundary problems of electromagnetic radiation theory. Diffraction radiation from relativistic charged particles is important for noninvasive beam diagnostics and design of free electron lasers based on Smith-Purcell radiation which is diffraction radiation from periodic structures.
