Diffraction Radiation from Relativistic Particles

Abstract

In one of the first works [1], where synchrotron radiation generated by an electron bunch containing N e electrons was considered, it was mentioned that, in the range of wavelengths comparable with the length of the electron bunch B, radiation becomes coherent, i.e., the intensity of radiation generated by the bunch depends quadratically on the number of electrons in the bunch (on the “population” of the bunch).
