Abstract:

Contents Deceleration of a relativistic particle in a plasma, by A. I. Alekseyev General formulas are derived for the energy loss of a charged particle passing with any velocity through a multicomponent plasma of arbitrary temperature Radiation of a high temperature plasma, by M. A. Troitskiy Because of the possibility that new statistical-physics methods can give more accurate results on the bremsstrahlung of a high temperature plasma and on recombination and line-spectrum radiation of low-temperature plasma, quantum field theory methods of statistical physics are used to determine the spectral expansion of bremsstrahlung intensity per unit volume of a plasma, with an allowance made for the shielding of the Coulomb yield of ions.
