This book was written by a group of authors and provides a
systematic dis cussion of questions related to bremsstrahlung in
many-particle systems. A number of new results have recently been
obtained in this area which require a fundamental revision of the
previously existing traditional concepts of bremsstrahlung. This ap
plies both to complicated atoms containing a large number of
electrons and to the additional bremsstrahlung in a system of many
particles forming a medium. In fact, the traditional approach was
rigorously applicable only either to isolated "structureless"
particles (e. g. , to the emission of an electron on a proton) or
to par ticles radiating in the limit of extremely high frequencies.
Polarization effects (either polarization of an atom itself by an
incident particle or polarization of the medium surrounding an
atomic particle) have a significant effect in the practically
important optical and x-ray frequency ranges and sometimes even
predominate. The first effect has come to be known as polarization
atomic (or dynamic) bremsstrahlung and the second, as polarization
transition bremsstrahlung. The au thors of this book use a single
term: polarization bremsstrahlung. It seems that, in contrast to
earlier ideas on the subject, bremsstrahlung during collisions of
heavy incident particles with atoms is by no means small and is
entirely caused by polar ization effects.
