Abstract
The theory is presented of surface wave excitation by a fast moving charged particle in a thin uniform metal film surrounded by a dielectric medium. It is shown that the Vavilov-Cherenkov like effect for the sufface waves could arise for particles whose velocities are ten- and even hundred-times lower than the corresponding velocities in a uniform medium.
