	A model of the transition radiation emission by a N electron bunch must conform to covariance and causality. The covariance of the charge density must imprint the transition radiation energy spectrum via a proper formulation of the charge form factor. The emission phases of the radiation pulse must be causality correlated with the temporal sequence of the N electron collisions onto the metallic screen. Covariance and temporal causality are the two faces of the same coin: failing in implementing one of the two constraints into the model necessarily implies betraying the other one. The main formal aspects of a covariance and temporal-causality consistent formulation of the transition radiation energy spectrum by an N electron beam are here described. In the case of a transition radiator with a round surface, explicit formal results are presented.

A model of the transition radiation emission by a N electron bunch must conform to covariance and causality. The covariance of the charge density must imprint the transition radiation energy spectrum via a proper formulation of the charge form factor. The emission phases of the radiation pulse must be causality correlated with the temporal sequence of the N electron collisions onto the metallic screen. Covariance and temporal causality are the two faces of the same coin: failing in implementing one of the two constraints into the model necessarily implies betraying the other one. The main formal aspects of a covariance and temporal-causality consistent formulation of the transition radiation energy spectrum by an N electron beam are here described. In the case of a transition radiator with a round surface, explicit formal results are presented.
