Summary
Transition radiation is generated when an energetic electron crosses the boundary between two different media. Theoretical calculations predict soft x-ray spectra and angular distributions that agree with experimental results. Further, recent advances in microstructure technology create the possibility of designing transition-radiation sources for several practical applications. For example, calculations indicate that a stack of 60 1..mu..m-thick beryllium foils exposed to a beam of 100 MeV electrons will produce about 120 Joules of 1 to 2 keV x-rays per Coulomb of incident charge. The highest intensity sources appear to be bright enough for application to microlithography. 8 refs., 6 figs.
