Abstract

Spectra of X-ray transition radiation (XTR) were measured, which were emitted in the passage of relativistic electrons through different samples of polyethylene foam. Based on the good agreement with absolute theoretical predictions, possible TR detectors are optimized for the Lorentz factor γ L range γL=200−1000. Such radiations are predicted to offer useful discrimination between pions, kaons, and protons with momenta above 100 GeV/c.
