Abstract:
Results of the first experimental search for the effect of the prewave zone in near-infrared transition radiation are presented. A substantial difference in the spatial distribution of transition relation for two different wavelengths (450 nm and 1600 nm) was observed. Experimental data are in a good, though not complete, agreement with the theory.
