RADIATION IN A PLASMA FROM A UNIFORMLY MOVING DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRIC CHARGE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4813487
Electromagnetic radiation cannot be emitted by a uniformly moving electric charge in a plasma in the absence of external magnetic fields, because the phase velocity of an electromagnetic oscillation in a plasma is larger than the velocity of light in a vacum. Plasma oscillations may be emitted when the velocity of the moving charge is larger than the velocity of sound in the electron gas. The electron oscillations are analyzed and the spectral distribution of the radiated energy is evaluated, assuming a uniform linear distribution of moving charge. (auth)
