Abstract
Polarization bremsstrahlung (PBs) is a fundamental radiative process arising in scattering of a charged particle by a target with internal degrees of freedom [1]. An elementary example of PBs is radiation of an electron on an atom. In this case internal degrees of freedom correspond to bound electrons of an atom that can reradiate an electromagnetic eigenfield of an incident particle (in this case of an electron). This process is presented in Fig. 1.1 together with ordinary bremsstrahlung (OBs) that is also called static bremsstrahlung (SBs).
