In our simple model the sphere contains highly relativistic electrons and a steady magnetic field.
This consisted of two main parts, the magnetic bottle where the plasma would be held, and a particle accelerator that provided the relativistic electrons.
This was a serious concern in Astron, because its relativistic electrons would radiate away large amounts of power due to electron synchrotron radiation.
These waves play an important role in the creation of relativistic electrons and their precipitation from the Earth's radiation belts.
It is produced by bending relativistic electrons around a circular track.
These relativistic electrons are detected as synchrotron radiation in the x-ray and radio wavelengths.
A promising theory proposes that showers of relativistic electrons are created by cosmic rays.
As these relativistic electrons collide and ionize neutral air molecules, they initiate leader formation.
The lower energy photons produced from this spectrum are scattered to higher energies by relativistic electrons in the surrounding corona.
The experiment observed the light produced by relativistic electrons in the water created by neutrino interactions.
