Synchrotron mechanism of X-ray and gamma-ray emissions in lightning and spark discharges
Abstract X-ray and γ-ray emissions observed in lightning and long sparks are usually connected with the bremsstrahlung of high-energy runaway electrons. Here, an alternative physical mechanism for producing X-ray and gamma-ray emissions caused by the polarization current and associated electromagnet...
