Cyclotron radiation
Radiation emitted by charged particles deflected by magnetic field
In particle physics, cyclotron radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted by non-relativistic accelerating charged particles deflected by a magnetic field. The Lorentz force on the particles acts perpendicular to both the magnetic field lines and the particles' motion through them, creating an acceleration of charged particles that causes them to emit radiation as a result of the acceleration they undergo as they spiral around the lines of the magnetic field. The name of this radiation derives from the cyclotron, a type of particle accelerator used since the 1930s to create highly energetic particles for study.
