Abstract
This paper considers the interference contribution in the radiation generat ed by a charged particle moving through a medium of randomly spaced paralle l dielectric plates. For wavelengths much smaller than the photon mean free path, there appears in the angular dependent radiation intensity an "enhan ced backscattering" peak in a cone with opening angle theta in the regime p i - theta similar to gamma(-1), where gamma is the Lorentz factor of the ch arged particle in the medium.
