Cherenkov diffraction radiation (ChDR) appears when a fast charged particle moves in the vicinity of and parallel to a dielectric interface. This is a member of polarization radiation family, because the radiation arises as a result of dynamic polarization of a medium. Coherent ChDR is generated in the wavelength range longer than or comparable to the longitudinal size of the bunch. In this...
Inverse Compton scattering, or as it is often called, Compton backscattering (CB) is one of the most classical and along with that modern subjects of intensive research. In this lecture I will reach out two main areas of research into Compton backscattering.
First, this is the role of CB in astronomy as a source of information about the Universe: cosmic rays, the Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect and...
