This book deals with diffraction radiation, which implies the boundary problems of electromagnetic radiation theory. It presents different analytical models of diffraction radiation and results of recent experimental studies.

First book focussing on diffraction radiation of relativistic and ultrarelativistic charged particles Summarizes the current knowledge of radiation from relativistic particles Presents the general properties of diffraction radiation Provides in-depth information on diffraction radiation from relativistic electrons Presents examples of boundary problems in electromagnetic radiation theory Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
