Spin light of electron in dense matter

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

We derive the modified Dirac equation for an electron undergos an influence of the standard model interaction with the nuclear matter. The exact solutions for this equation and the electron energy spectrum in matter are obtained. This establishes a rather powerful method for investigation of different processes that can appear when electrons propagate in background matter. On this basis we study in detail the spin light of electron in nuclear matter, a new type of electromagnetic radiation which can be emitted by an electron moving in dense matter.
