A recent derivation of an explicit elementary expression for the mean number $<N>$ of photons emitted per revolution in synchrotron radiation allows a systematic high-energy analysis leading to the result $<N>\simeq…
Coherent fraction is a concept widely used in the synchrotron radiation community. Here I discuss the meaning of coherent fraction, an accurate way to define it, and the different formulations found in literature to calculate it. After…
There is a robust upper limit on the energy of synchrotron radiation in high-energy astrophysics: $ \sim m_{\rm e} c^2 /\alpha$, where $\alpha = 1/137$ is the fine structure constant and the value refers to the comoving frame of the fluid.…
We present a complete solution to the cyclotron-synchrotron radiation due to an isotropic distribution of electrons moving in a magnetic field. We make no approximations in the calculations other than artificially broadening the harmonics…
We demonstrate that the exact solution for the spectrum of synchrotron radiation from an isotropic population of mono-energetic electrons in turbulent magnetic field with Gaussian distribution of local field strengths can be expressed in…
We model the emission of high energy photons due to relativistic charged particle motion in intense laser-plasma interactions. This is done within a particle-in-cell code, for which high frequency radiation normally cannot be resolved due…
Synchrotron emission of relativistic particles in magnetic fields is a process of paramount importance in astrophysics. Although known for over thirty years, there are still aspects of this radiative process that have received little…
We reexamine the general synchrotron model for GRBs' prompt emission and determine the regime in the parameter phase space in which it is viable. We characterize a typical GRB pulse in terms of its peak energy, peak flux and duration and…
Synchrotron radiation and Compton scattering are widely accepted as the most likely emission mechanisms of some astrophysical phenomena, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The measurement on polarization of…
Soft cyclo-synchrotron photons produced by thermal electrons moving in a magnetic field can be subsequently Comptonized to produce hard X-ray and $\gamma$-ray emission. An accurate determination of the amount of soft cyclo-synchrotron…
We study the synchrotron radiation emitted by a charged fermion, rotating as a part of a larger system, in a constant magnetic field $B$ parallel to the axis of rotation. The rotation is classical and independent of the magnetic field. The…
Classical radiation power from an accelerated massive charge diverges in the zero-mass limit, while some general arguments suggest that strictly massless charge does not not radiate at all. On the other hand, the regularized classical…
The elastic and inelastic high--energy small--angle electron--positron scattering is considered. All radiative corrections to the cross--section with the relative accuracy $\delta\sigma/ \sigma = 0.1 \% $ are explicitly taken into account.…

The spectrum and polarization produced by particles spiraling in a magnetic field undergo dramatic changes as the emitters transition from nonrelativistic to relativistic energies. However, none of the currently available methods for…
We propose a new approximation for the cyclo-synchrotron emissivity of a single electron. In the second part of this work, we discuss a simple application for our approximation, and investigate the heating of electrons through the…
The process of radiation from high-energy electron in oriented single crystal is considered using the method which permits inseparable consideration of both coherent and incoherent mechanisms of photon emission. The total intensity of…
For an exact quantitative description of spectral properties in the theory of synchrotron radiation, the concept of effective spectral width is introduced. In the classical theory, numeric calculations of effective spectral width (using an…

It is shown that when an few-cycle, relativistically intense, p-polarized laser pulse is obliquely incident on overdense plasma, the surface electrons may form ultra-thin, highly compressed layers, with a width of a few nanometers. These…
