Gravitational radiation from Coulomb collisions

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem is considered of gravitational bremsstrahlung radiation from collisions between nonrelativistic charged particles at arbitrary values of the Born parameter ¦e1e2¦/hv (with exact Coulomb wave functions). It is shown that the existing estimates of this type of radiation from the solar plasma are far too high as they are based on equations for the cross section which are not applicable at the given temperature. A new estimate is derived.
