Abstract

The features of the relativistic charge particle motion and emission due to the radiative slamping in the strong electromagnetic fields are investigated. It is shown that the radiative force responsible for curvature radiation is associated with the particle drift in an inhomogeneous magnetic field. The adiabatic trajectory is obtained for the relativistic particle, moving in a strong static electron-magnetic field, particle energy being determined by the balance of the work of the electric field and the energy losses through curvature radiation.
