✦ Synopsis

Variousfeatures of synchrotron-Cerenkovradiationare illustrated in thecontextof the following situations: (1) the passage of high-energy electrons through gases, liquids, solids, and plasmas in the presence of magnetic fields; (2) the suppression of synchrotron X rays from high-energy electrons in the earth's atmosphere and extraterrestrial environs; (3) the detection of the real part of the Delbrtick scattering amplitude; (4) vacuum polarization effects on radiation by ultrahigh-energy electrons in intense magnetic fields; (5) synchrotron-Cerenkov radiation by charged particles heavier than electrons.
