The standard calculations of the synchrotron emission from charged particles in magnetic fields does not apply when the energy losses of the particles are so severe that their energy is appreciably degraded during one Larmor rotation. In…
The polarization of radiation by scattering on an atom embedded in combined external quadrupole electric and uniform magnetic fields is studied theoretically. Limiting cases of scattering under Zeeman effect and Hanle effect in weak…
In order to increase the luminosity of electron-positron colliders it is desirable to find a means to reduce the phase-space of the beams. The transverse cooling of positrons imposed by the quantum excitation-free radiation emission in a…
In this Letter, we report on the concept and analysis of a low-emittance electron storage ring, in which the electron beams undergo an early-stage self-amplified spontaneous emission lasing process on a turn-by-turn basis. The lasing…
The X-ray brightness delivered by fourth-generation light sources strongly depends on the electron beam current and transverse emittance. Reaching higher brilliance and lower emittances are increasingly limited by intra beam scattering,…
Synchrotron radiation from accelerated electrons above the photosphere of a relativistic ejecta is a natural candidate for the dominant process for the prompt GRB emission. There is however a tension between the predicted low-energy…

In a lepton storage ring of very high energy (e.g. in the $e^+e^-$ Higgs factory) synchrotron radiation from quadrupoles constrains transverse dynamic aperture even in the absence of any magnetic nonlinearities. This was observed in…

Relativistic electrons moving into a highly tangled magnetic field emit jitter radiation. We present a detailed computation of the jitter radiation spectrum, including self-absorption, for electrons inside Weibel-like shock generated…
The synchrotron cooling of relativistic electrons is one of the most effective radiation mechanisms in astrophysics. It not only accompanies the process of particle acceleration but also has feedback on the formation of the energy…
A century ago, J. J. Thomson showed that the scattering of low-intensity light by electrons was a linear process (i.e., the scattered light frequency was identical to that of the incident light) and that light's magnetic field played no…
