Generation of Emissions By Fast Particles In Stochastic Media

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The review presents basic elements of the theory of electromagnetic emission by nonthermal particles propagating in stochastic media. In particular, general theory and a few special regimes of Diffusive Synchrotron Radiation (DSR)arising in the presence of random magnetic/electric fields are analyzed in detail. Possible applications of the DSR theory to astrophysical sources as well as other emission processes typical for the random media are discussed briefly.
