Foam radiators for transition radiation detectors [PDF]
Abstract A wide variety of foam radiators, potentially useful in the design of a transition radiation detector, the possible particle identification tool in collider experiments, have been tested in the beam. Various characteristics of these radiators are compared, and the conclusion is reached that certain brands of polyethylene foam are best suited

Transition radiation and the origin of sonoluminescence [PDF]
It has been shown by Liberati et al. [quant-ph/9904013] that a dielectric medium with a time-dependent refractive index may produce photons. We point out that a free electric charge which interacts with such a medium will emit quantum mechanically modified transition radiation in which an arbitrary odd number of photons will be present.

Transition radiation in mechanics [PDF]
Transition radiation of elastic waves generated by a mechanical object that performs a uniform rectilinear motion along an inhomogeneous elastic system (a string, beam, membrane, or plate) is discussed in detail. The effect is analysed by assuming that the law of motion of the load admits the generation of neither Cherenkov nor bremsstrahlung radiation,

Multistage Positron Acceleration by an Electron Beam-Driven Strong Terahertz Radiation
Laser–plasma accelerators (LPAs) have been demonstrated as one of the candidates for traditional accelerators and have attracted increasing attention due to their compact size, high acceleration gradients, low cost, etc. However, LPAs for positrons still

Transition radiation detectors [PDF]
We review the basic features of transition radiation and how they are used for the design of modern Transition Radiation Detectors (TRD). The discussion will include the various realizations of radiators as well as a discussion of the detection media and aspects of detector construction.

Transition radiation by neutrinos [PDF]
We calculate the transition radiation process $ \to $ at an interface of two media. The neutrinos are taken to be with only standard-model couplings. The medium fulfills the dual purpose of inducing an effective neutrino-photon vertex and of modifying the photon dispersion relation.

Transition radiation in QCD matter [PDF]
In ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions a finite size QCD medium is created. In this paper we compute radiative energy loss to zeroth order in opacity by taking into account finite size effects. Transition radiation occurs on the boundary between the finite size medium and the vacuum, and we show that it lowers the difference between medium and ...

The structure and glass transition behavior of PLLA under the influence of gamma radiation [PDF]
The influence of gamma radiation on the structure and glass transition behavior of poly-L-lactide (PLLA) has been studied. Since PLLA exposed to high-energy radiation in the presence of air is prone to chain scission reactions and large degradation ...
