Collimator-size effect on the parametric-radiation spectrum

It is shown that, by varying the angular size of a collimator, the spectral distribution of parametric x-ray radiation can be split into two isolated peaks and that the center of the spectral distribution of this radiation is shifted in. frequency in response to an increase in the collimator size. I t is also predicted that an increase in the angular size of the collimator will lead to a substantial modification of the character of the orientation dependence of the: radiation spectrum.
