The prediction, observation and study of long-distant undamped thermal waves generated in pulse radiative processes

The problems of the existence, generation, propagation and registration of long-distant undamped thermal waves formed in pulse radiative processes have been theoretically analyzed and confirmed experimentally. These waves may be used for the analysis of short-time processes of interaction of particles or electromagnetic fields with different targets. Such undamped waves can only exist in environments with a finite (nonzero) time of local thermal relaxation and their frequencies are determined by this time. The results of successful experiments on the generation and registration of undamped thermal waves at a large distance (up to 2 m) are also presented.
