| Abstract: | A semiclassical theory describing the emission and absorption of waves is applied to the interaction of charged particles with waves in magnetized plasmas. Spontaneous emission of all cold plasma wave modes is calculated in detail. The method gives the absorption coefficient for the waves and a diffusion equation in momentum space for the particles describing the effects of the induced processes.Coefficients describing the systematic change of particle parameters follow from the diffusion equation. Applications of astrophysical interest are outlined. |
