Spin light of electron in dense matter

We derive the modified Dirac equation for an electron undergos an influence of the standard model interaction with the nuclear matter. The exact solutions for this equation and the electron energy spectrum in matter are obtained. This establishes a rather powerful method for investigation of different processes that can appear when electrons propagate in background matter. On this basis we study in detail the spin light of electron in nuclear matter, a new type of electromagnetic radiation which can be emitted by an electron moving in dense matter.

Spin light of electron in matter

We further generalize the powerful method, which we have recently developed for description of the background matter influence on neutrinos, for the case of an electron moving in matter. On the basis of the modified Dirac equation for the electron, accounting for the standard model interaction with particles of the background, we predict and investigate in some detail a new mechanism of the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by moving in matter electron due to its magnetic moment. We have termed this radiation the ``spin light of electron" in matter and predicted that this radiation can have consequences accessible for experimental observations in astrophysical and cosmological settings.
