Description
The method of images [1] permits to describe the transition radiation not only on the infinite conducting plane [2], but also on the dihedral angle with the opening equal to the divisor of 180 degrees. Here we describe the transition radiation arising under the fast charged particle’s incidence on the target of two conducting half-planes that make rectangular dihedral angle (when the incidence takes the place from the inner side of the angle). The qualitative features of the radiation from the both fast and slow particles are considered, the pictorial interpretation of the results is given. The possibility of application of the interference effects in the radiation for the beam monitoring is discussed.
