The plots show form factors versus the wavelength or frequency of the coherent transition radiation, for varying parameters. Beneath the graph is a diagram showing the motion of the wave train and the geometry of the interaction. The target is shown as a green plate, the detector is shown as a yellow square and the charged-particle bunches are shown as red spheres. You can choose the target tilt angle, detector position and other parameters. All bunches are assumed to be of equal size.
