Radiation of a relativistic electron with non-equilibrium own Coulomb field

Abstract

The condition and specific features of non-dipole regime of radiation is discussed in connection with the results of recent CERN experiment NA63 on measurement of radiation power spectrum of $149\,$GeV electrons in thin tantalum targets. The first experimental detection of logarithmic dependence of radiation yield from the target thickness is the conclusive evidence of the effect of radiation suppression in a thin layer of matter, which was predicted many years ago, and which is the direct manifestation of radiation of relativistic electron with non-equilibrium own Coulomb field. The special features of angular distribution of radiation and its polarization in a thin target at non-dipole regime are proposed for a new experimental study.
