| dc.description.abstract | Experiments were conducted to measure the intensity of radiation emitted by a superluminal 100 MeV electron moving through a static, periodic, plane polarized magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the electron's trajectory. Such radiation is known as pumped superluminal electromagnetic radiation (PSER) . Comparison was then made with the intensity of Cerenkov radiation emitted by a superluminal 10 MeV electron without a pump field. it was found that the PSER was 12.78% ± 0.75% more intense than the Cerenkov radiation. | |

Effects of charge distribution within a particle beam on the sub-Cerenkov radiation
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1987-12);The charge distribution of periodic electron beam pulses generates patterns of sub-Cerenkov radiation distinctive of the distribution of charge with in a bunch. Mapping the radiation pattern from different charge shapes ... -
Grazing-incidence Çerenkov x-ray generation
(1989-08-01);X-ray Çerenkov radiation can be generated by electrons incident on thin foils. For grazing incidence the Çerenkov radiation intensity can be more than a decade greater than for perpendicular incidence. Experimental results ... -
Effects of variation of index of refraction of atmosphere on Cerenkov radiation.
(1985-12);Cerenkov radiation is calculated for electron beams which exceed the velocity of light in a nondispersive dielectric medium. The electron beam is assumed to be bunched as emitted from a travelling wave accelerator ...
