Abstract

The radiation field of the elementary particles of an extensive air shower in the geomagnetic field has been examined. According to the solutions of Maxwell’s equation for an electron (positron) taking into account ionization losses, the radiation of the shower is determined only by the bremsstrahlung and geomagnetic mechanism. The Cherenkov component of radiation is almost absent.
