The radiation emitted by a charged particle moving along a helical orbit inside a dielectric cylinder immersed into a homogeneous medium is investigated. Expressions are derived for the electromagnetic potentials, electric and magnetic fields, and for the spectral-angular distribution of radiation in the exterior medium. It is shown that under the Cherenkov condition for dielectric permittivity of the cylinder and the velocity of the particle image on the cylinder surface, strong narrow peaks are present in the angular distribution for the number of radiated quanta. At these peaks the radiated energy exceeds the corresponding quantity for a homogeneous medium by some orders of magnitude. The results of numerical calculations for the angular distribution of radiated quanta are presented and they are compared with the corresponding quantities for radiation in a homogeneous medium. The special case of relativistic charged particle motion along the direction of the cylinder axis with non-relativistic transverse velocity (helical undulator) is considered in detail. Various regimes for the undulator parameter are discussed. It is shown that the presence of the cylinder can increase essentially the radiation intensity.

We investigate the Casimir-Polder force acting on a polarizable microparticle in the geometry of a straight cosmic string. In order to develop this analysis we evaluate the electromagnetic field Green tensor on the imaginary frequency axis. The expression for the Casimir-Polder force is derived in the general case of anisotropic polarizability. In dependence of the eigenvalues for the polarizability tensor and of the orientation of its principal axes, the Casimir-Polder force can be either repulsive or attractive. Moreover, there are situations where the force changes the sign with separation. We show that for an isotropic polarizability tensor the force is always repulsive. At large separations between the microparticle and the string, the force varies inversely as the fifth power of the distance. In the non-retarded regime, corresponding to separations smaller than the relevant transition wavelengths, the force decays as the inverse fourth power of the distance. In the case of anisotropic polarizability, the dependence of the Casimir-Polder potential on the orientation of the polarizability tensor principal axes also leads to the moment of force acting on the particle.

The electromagnetic field generated by a charged particle moving along a helical orbit inside a dielectric cylinder immersed into a homogeneous medium is investigated. Expressions are derived for the electromagnetic potentials, electric and magnetic fields in the region inside the cylinder. The parts corresponding to the radiation field are separated. The radiation intensity on the lowest azimuthal mode is studied.

In this paper we investigate the radiation emitted by a charged particle moving along a helical orbit around a dielectric cylinder immersed into a homogeneous medium. Formulae are derived for the electromagnetic potentials, electric and magnetic fields, and for the spectralangular distribution of the radiation in the exterior medium. It is shown that under the Cherenkov condition for dielectric permittivity of the cylinder and the velocity of the particle image on the cylinder surface, strong narrow peaks appear in the angular distribution for the number of quanta radiated on a given harmonic. At these peaks the radiated energy exceeds the corresponding quantity for a homogeneous medium by several dozens of times. Simple analytic estimates are given for the heights and widths of these peaks. The results of numerical calculations for the angular distribution of the radiated quanta are presented and they are compared with the corresponding quantities for the radiation from a charge moving along a helical trajectory inside a dielectric cylinder.

The emitted power of the radiation from a charged particle moving uniformly on a circle inside a cylindrical waveguide is considered. The expressions for the energy flux of the radiation passing through the waveguide cross-section are derived for both TE and TM waves. The results of the numerical evaluation are presented for the number of emitted quanta depending on the waveguide radius, the radius of the charge rotation orbit and dielectric permittivity of the filling medium. These results are compared with the corresponding quantities for the synchrotron radiation in a homogeneous medium. *
