Abstract

We have studied the mechanism for radiation by charged particles called stimulated electromagnetic shock radiation (SESR) by Schneider and Spitzer caused by the interaction between a relativistic charged particle and an externally applied electromagnetic plane wave in a dielectric. The present theory predicts that the SESR effect is large when the frequency of the plane wave lies in the microwave region but is small at higher frequencies for plane-wave field strengths smaller than the breakdown field of the dielectric.
