Measurement of coherent transition X rays

Interference phenomena in the angular distributions and spectra of transition radiation from closely spaced two- and four-foil polypropylene targets have been observed. Strong interference occurred for photons having wavelengths of roughly 83 A. Calculated angular distributions are in excellent agre...

Zusammenfassung:Interference phenomena in the angular distributions and spectra of transition radiation from closely spaced two- and four-foil polypropylene targets have been observed. Strong interference occurred for photons having wavelengths of roughly 83 A. Calculated angular distributions are in excellent agreement with the two-foil data. These results form the basis of a new technique for measuring X-ray dielectric constants. (C.D.)
