SLAC T-510: Experimental validation of particle-level simulations of radio emission from particle cascades

The SLAC T-510 experiment was designed to measure radio emission from particle cascades in a controlled laboratory setting and compare measurements with predictions from particle-level simulations. An electron beam incident upon a dense dielectric target produced a particle cascade in the presence o...
