Synchrotron-like gluon emission in the quark-gluon plasma

Abstract

A quasiclassical theory of the synchrotron-like gluon emission is discussed. We show that the synchrotron emission may be important in the jet quenching if the plasma instabilities generate a chromomagnetic field about $m_D^2/g$. Our gluon spectrum disagrees with that obtained by Shuryak and Zahed within Schwinger's proper time method.
