OSTI ID:4662775
The radiation characteristics of a linear distribution of electric charge moving with a uniform velocity in a homogeneous electron plasma of infinite extent are investigated for the case in which a uniform static magnetic field is impressed externally throughout the medium. The linear distribution of charge and its direction of motion are assumed to be parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the direction of the external magnetic field. Of the two possible modes of waves of small amplitude, namely, the modified electromagnetic mode and the modified plasma mode, the uniformly moving charge distribution excites the modified plasma mode. The emitted radiation has no frequencies less than the plasma frequency. For a particular value of the ratio of the gyrotropic to the plasma frequency of the electrons, the frequency and the angular spectrum of the emitted radiation are determined for two values of the velocity of the charge.
