Abstract
Diffuse radio emission in galaxy clusters, in the form of radio halos or relics, provides evidence that cosmic ray electrons (CRe) are present in the ICM, as are cluster-scale magnetic fields. Such sources provide a unique opportunity to study the non-thermal component of the ICM as well as an indirect method to probe the dynamics and evolution of galaxy clusters.
