TL;DR

This paper reviews modern research on electromagnetic radiation emitted by relativistic charged particles in periodic media, focusing on diffracted X-ray radiation and resonance transition radiation, with implications for developing tunable X-ray sources.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of diffracted and resonance transition radiation phenomena in periodic media, highlighting their potential for creating compact tunable X-ray sources.

Findings

Diffracted X-ray radiation can be generated via Bragg scattering in crystals.

Resonance transition radiation occurs through Fresnel scattering in periodic media.

These phenomena are promising for developing new tunable X-ray sources.

Abstract

The review is devoted to the modern investigations of electromagnetic radiation by relativistic charged particles propagating with constant velocity through the periodic media. Two examples of radiation are considered in this review, the first corresponds to the Bragg scattering of charged particles pseudophotons in crystals, the second one to the Fresnel scattering of pseudophotons in periodic medium. Both examples play essential role in construction new compact tunable sources in X-ray region.
