Abstract Cherenkov radiation is a convenient tool for charged particle detection and bunch diagnostics. However, due to the complexity of real radiator geometry, different approximate techniques are elaborated for investigation of excited radiation*. Here we develop recently reported** approximate method for calculating Cherenkov radiation of a charge flying near a dielectric target having two main boundaries (the first interacts with a charge field and the second mainly refracts a generated radiation). We focus on cases where the radiation outside the target is convergent and use two methods for field investigation: ray optical technique and aperture integration technique. First, we deal with the case of a conical target with a vacuum channel. Under certain conditions, this radiation is concentrated near the line being the symmetry axis of the target. Second, we find the specific shape of the target that concentrates radiation in a small vicinity of given point (focus). Such targets can be used for improvement of detectors and bunch diagnostics systems based on Cherenkov effect.
