Sumario:An implementation of fast simulation models provided by the GEANT4 package for the description of X-ray transition radiation (XTR) produced by a relativistic charged particle in a multi layered medium is discussed. The implementation allows us to calculate the number of XTR photons, their energy and angular spectra in a number of XTR radiators of practical interest. Ionisation produced by the relativistic particle and the XTR photons are also described in terms of fast parameterisation. Comparison of simulation with experimental data from gaseous detectors is presented.
