TL;DR
This paper explores the theoretical production of gamma-ray Cherenkov-transition radiation (GCTR) in the 0.8-2 MeV energy range, considering recent findings on dielectric properties influenced by Delbruck scattering.
Contribution
It introduces a theoretical framework for GCTR production in this energy range based on new dielectric constant measurements affected by Delbruck scattering.
Findings
GCTR can potentially be observed in specific materials with dielectric constants greater than 1.
Numerical calculations support the feasibility of detecting GCTR.
Potential applications of GCTR are discussed.
Abstract
The production of gamma-ray Cherenkov-transition radiation (GCTR) by charged particles in the photon energy region 0.8 - 2 MeV is studied theoretically using the results of the recent discovery that in the above mentioned region the dielectric constant or the refraction index of some materials is greater than 1 due to Delbruck scattering on Coulomb field of nuclei. Using the results of the carried out numerical calculations, the possibility of observing GCTR and some of its applications are discussed.
