Abstract

The first observation and investigation of a new mechanism of resonant Cherenkov diffraction radiation appearing when relativistic 6 MeV electrons move alongside a periodically shaped Teflon target have been presented and analysed. Numerical simulations performed using computer code KARAT are in good agreement with the experimental results. This new mechanism is a promising technique for generation and monochromatisation of THz and sub-THz radiation beams that could be integrated into any short bunch linear accelerator facility including 4th generation light sources providing new opportunities for user community.
