Cyclotron Resonance in Strongly Magnetized Plasmas and Gamma Ray Burst

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new scenario for gamma-ray and hard X-ray bursts in strongly magnetized plasmas, based on collective plasma maser instability, offering an alternative to conventional cyclotron radiation theory.

Contribution

It introduces a novel plasma maser instability mechanism as an explanation for gamma-ray bursts in strongly magnetized environments.

Findings

Estimates of physical parameters for the scenario.

Comparison with conventional cyclotron radiation theory.

Discussion of the scenario's relevance to observed phenomena.

Abstract

A plausible scenario for the gamma ray and the hard x-ray burst in a strongly magnetized plasma, based on the collective plasma maser instability, is proposed. The physical parameters with which this scenario becomes relevant are estimated. The attractive feature of this scenario over the conventional cyclotron radiation theory is discussed.
