Ar. Mkrtchyan et al., COHERENT DIFFRACTION RADIATION FROM AN ELECTRON BUNCH, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 145(1-2), 1998, pp. 67-72
The radiation from an electron bunch in flight over a periodic structu
re of an arbitrary profile has been considered. Conditions are specifi
ed under which the overall radiation essentially exceeds the incoheren
t part. It is shown that the radiation from the bunch with asymmetric
density distribution of electrons in the longitudinal direction is par
tially coherent for waves with wavelengths much shorter than the chara
cteristic longitudinal size of the bunch. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevi
