Abstract
The propagation of relativistic electrons and muons within multilayer structures is considered. The Geant4 model of X-ray transition radiation (the yield of photons, their angular and spectral distributions, and the spectrum absorbed by a gas detector) is compared to experimental and RADIATOR data. It is demonstrated that the Geant4 spectral and, even more so, angular distributions differ from the experimental ones.
