We study the properties of synchrotron radiation in vacuum. The behaviour of time averaged radial, azimuthal and polar components of the radiated energy flux is investigated for different velocities of a moving charge and at different distances from a charge orbit (both outside and inside it). Analytic formulae are found for the instantaneous position of the radiation intensity maxima and minima for a fixed moment of the laboratory time. They generalize the famous Schwinger formula for arbitrary velocities and distances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
