The synergic synchrotron-Cerenkov (SC) radiation emitted by a relativistic charged particle under the combined effect of the constant external magnetic field and the collective interactions in the ambient plasma (medium) is given in the framework of the non-equilibrium statistical mechanics developed by Prigogine and his co-workers. Starting from the formal solution of the Liouville equation, the one-particle distribution function is calculated. Restricting the motion of the test particle to a circular orbit in the plane normal to the magnetic field, we use the above distribution function to calculate the power emitted per unit solid angle by the test particle as a function of time. We have thus obtained the time evolution of the synergic SC radiation which in the asymptotic limit reproduces the results of Schwinger and his co-workers. It is also shown that the collective interactions within the system produces a shift in the frequency of the outcoming radiation.

The power spectra of C 8 erenkov, synchrotron, and synchrotron C 8 erenkov radiation are calculated both classically (by source methods) and quantum mechanically (by mass operator methods). The synergic features of the synchrotron C 8 erenkov radiation are pointed out. The existence of a transition
The usefulness of non-Markov reduced equations of motion (REM) for the description of the time evolution of macrovariables is examined. We show that in general one should be very cautious when using such equations since the results may strongly depend on the addition of more variables into the REM.
