Abstract

A theory of linear acceleration emission, with possible application to pulsars, is developed. The equation of motion for a relativistic charged particle accelerated in the field of a longitudinal wave is solved to first order in the electric potential and used to derive the first order current. The power emitted and the absorption coefficient are calculated and the conditions under which masing can occur are discussed.
