Abstract

We review the important features of the right-angle X-junction diffraction model and discuss both its theoretical framework and its validity range. In addition, we present explicit new results from BPM calculations that show that the analytical model aptly describes the dominant physical processes involved and provides bounds on the numerical results. We also address some misinterpretations of the model that have recently appeared in the literature.
