Abstract

Two expressions for the power radiated by a charged particle in a homogeneous magnetoplasma are derived, using a method similar to that of Kolomenskii, Eidman and Liemohn. The first expression is identical with that of Eidman. The reason for the correctness of Eidman's result for dispersive media, in spite of his complete neglect of dispersion in the derivation, is explained. Liemohn, by taking dispersion into account at only one stage of the derivation, obtains a result which disagrees with the present one, often by many orders of magnitude, as illustrated by computations.

The second expression is derived by several authors by different methods; it is more suitable for computations than the first one. The radiation bands and their limiting frequencies are discussed systematically.
