Spontaneous emission of bound photons from relativistic free electrons
1Department of Physics, Tokyo Gakugei University, Koganei, Japan.
Abstract:
If the states of photons are bound, another type of spontaneous emission becomes possible for a relativistic electron due to the symmetry breaking in space. We obtain the radiation probability for a relativistic electron passing through a box-shaped cavity. The radiation spectrum is discrete in which line positions are determined by the boundary condition of the cavity.
