论文摘要
我们建议将Vavilov-Cherenkov(VC)和过渡辐射作为扭曲光子的来源。描述了观察构成这些辐射的光子轨道角动量的实验设置。考虑了通过介电板中相对论电子和离子产生的辐射。提出了用于VC和过渡辐射的旋转光子束对扭曲光子辐射中总角动量的实验验证。提出了实验的参数。
We propose to use Vavilov-Cherenkov (VC) and transition radiations as a source of twisted photons in a wide range of energies. The experimental setup to observe the orbital angular momentum of photons constituting those radiations is described. The radiation produced by relativistic electrons and ions in passing dielectric plates is considered. The experimental verification of the addition rule for the total angular momentum in the radiation of twisted photons by helically microbunched beams is proposed for VC and transition radiations. The parameters of the experiments are presented.
