Single-Particle Radiation Processes in a Plasma with Magnetic Fields
Abstract
From the classical equation of motion, the radiation emitted by an electron in an external magnetic field undergoing Coulomb interactions is derived. It is shown that the several spectral components corresponding to magnetic and Coulomb force terms cannot be interpreted simply by saying that the total spectrum is composed of a cyclotron line superimposed on the continuum from the bremsstrahlung emission in the absence of the magnetic field.
