Cherenkov-transition radiation in a waveguide with a dielectric-vacuum boundary
We analyze the electromagnetic field of a charged particle moving uniformly in a circular waveguide and crossing the boundary between a dielectric and a vacuum.

Zusammenfassung: | We analyze the electromagnetic field of a charged particle moving uniformly in a circular waveguide and crossing the boundary between a dielectric and a vacuum. Our study focuses on the case when Cherenkov radiation is generated in the dielectric. Analytical and numerical investigation of the waveguide modes is performed. We show that a large radiation can be excited in the vacuum area. The mode amplitudes in the vacuum can be greater than those in the dielectric. The field from a Gaussian bunch is also studied. We note that the effect under consideration can be used to generate a large quasimonochromatic or multimode radiation. |
