Interference phenomena in radiation of a charged particle moving in a system with one-dimensional randomness
This paper considers the interference contribution in the radiation generated by a charged particle moving through a medium of randomly spaced parallel dielectric plates. For wavelengths much smaller than the photon mean free path, there appears in the angular dependent radiation intensity an "enhanced backscattering" peak in a cone with opening angle straight theta in the regime pi-straight theta approximately gamma(-1), where gamma is the Lorentz factor of the charged particle in the medium.
