Abstract
Transition radiation that arises when a charged particle passes through two consecutive plane gratings is considered. The gratings are made up of parallel metal wires. The planes of the gratings are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle. The conductors of one of the gratings are perpendicular to the conductors of the other. It is shown that the generated transition radiation has elliptic polarization; the ellipticity and the sign of rotation depend on the angle of radiation, the distance between the gratings, and the velocity of the charged particle.
