Abstract:This paper deals with radiation (scalar, electromagnetic, or gravitational) produced by an extended source. The object is to construct a model source the radiation from which is concentrated in a jet of small angle with an assigned target direction. This is done by taking for the source an infinite train of high-frequency plane waves travelling in the target direction with the basic speed of propagation, the amplitude falling off exponentially with distance. The critical number, to be made large in this mode… Show more
