Nonlinear transition radiation in a plasma
Abstract
Expressions are derived for the transition radiation fields due to the particles of a plasma, in the presence of an intense electromagnetic beam. Radiation is caused by the nonlinear modifications of the plasma dielectric constant, and can be observed if the plasma is slightly nonneutral.
