Abstract

Magnetic fields produced in collisions of electrically charged particles at relativistic energies are strong enough to affect the dynamics of the strong interactions. In particular, it induces radiation of vector bosons by relativistic fermions. To develop deeper insight into this problem, I calculate the corresponding spectrum in constant magnetic field and analyze its angular distribution and mass dependence. As an application, I consider synchrotron radiation of virtual photon by the quark-gluon plasma.
