The amplitude for emitting $n$ bosons factorizes into the product of $n$ single-boson emission amplitudes, if the source is energetic and abelian. If it is energetic but {\it non-abelian}, the amplitude is given by a sum of factorized {\it…
Coherent curvature radiation as the radiation mechanism for fast radio bursts (FRBs) has been discussed since FRBs were discovered. We study the spectral and polarization properties of repeating FRBs within the framework of coherent…
The fast (ms) radio bursts reported by Thornton, {\it et al.} have extremely high brightness temperatures if at the inferred cosmological distances. This implies coherent emission by "bunches" of charges. We model the emission region as a…

We for the first time observe that at the initial stage of a high-current discharge, a low-divergence short (< 2 ns) electromagnetic pulse is formed over a ferrite surface. The 50% part of this pulse lies in the region of fairly hard x-ray…
Longitudinal bunch profile monitoring is a crucial diagnostic requirement in most accelerator facilities. This is particularly true in modern free-electron lasers and novel acceleration schemes, where bunch lengths are often <100 fs and…
New research in acceleration physics leads to growing up the power of charged particles bunches. Existed methods based on interaction of detection devices with bunches do not satisfy our need, because of the fact that new high intensity…
Emission of light by a single electron moving on a curved trajectory (synchrotron radiation) is one of the most well-known fundamental radiation phenomena. However experimental situations are more complex as they involve many electrons,…
