Transition radiation is frequently used to determine the time profile of a bunched relativistic particle beam. Emphasis is usually given to diagnostics sensitive to wavelengths in the infrared-to-optical portion of the spectrum. In this study, CST Particle Studio simulations are used to make quantitative statements regarding the low-frequency (DC to microwave) behavior of coherent transition radiation from a mirror inclined at 45 degrees relative to the particle beam trajectory. A moving Gaussian bunch confined within a cylindrical beam pipe is modeled. Simulation results are presented. |
