INTRODUCTION
Synchrotron radiation provides information about
the runaway electrons in tokamaks. Polarization meas-
urements will give extra features.
In [1 - 3], the synchrotron radiation from runaway
electrons in tokamaks was observed. The synchrotron
spectra of runaway electrons in tokamak were analyzed in
[4, 5]. In [6, 7] the polarization pattern of the synchro-
tron radiation of runaway electrons in tokamak has been
calculated.
Analysis of experimental data has shown that the de-
scription of the synchrotron radiation of runaway elec-
trons in tokamaks is the case when you need to take into
account the curvature of magnetic field lines [8 - 10].
In this paper, we will continue to study the polariza-
tion of synchrotron radiation in a toroidal magnetic field
configuration taking more attention to forming the po-
larization pattern.
The topology of toroidal magnetic fields, the elec-
tron energies take values that are typical for medium-
size tokamaks. The nested circle tori for magnetic fields
and drift trajectories are considered.
The compact formulas that describe the coordinates
of the radiation points are given. The synchrotron radia-
tion formulae for an electron moving along a circle are
used to describe the radiation of ultrarelativistic elec-
trons from a small arc of its trajectory. The mechanism
of the appearance of linear polarization in the synchro-
tron radiation spot is elucidated.
The paper is organized as follows. The formulas for
coordinates of particles emitting to the detector are giv-
en in Section 2. The contribution to radiation from two
different regions on the torus is described. The merging
of these two areas into one is described.
In Section 3, the formulae for calculating the direc-
tions of polarization and power of synchrotron radiation
from electrons with drift trajectories on the torus are
considered.
In Section 4, the polarization and power in synchro-
tron radiation spot is calculated for the range of pitch
angles of the runaway electrons.
1. TOROIDAL MAGNETIC FIELDS
AND ELECTRON TRAJECTORIES
Cartesian coordinates are taken as shown in Fig. 1.
The torus is described with coordinates ( )ϕϑ,,r : coor-
dinates ( )ϑ,r with centre at major radius R and the
toroidal angle ϕ , ϕϑ eee ,,r are the corresponding orts,
[ ]ϑϕ eee ,r= . Magnetic surfaces and drift surfaces have
a toroidal topology. The major radius of nested magnet-
ic surfaces is 0RR = , the major radius of drift surfaces
is δ+= 0RR .
So, there are two coordinate systems ( )ϕϑ,,r and
( )ϕϑ ,, ffr corresponding to drift and magnetic torus,
respectively.

Suppose, the toroidal magnetic field ϕB and plasma
current I are clockwise, radiating electrons are moving
counterclockwise.
Magnetic fields take the form [11, 12]

where BBrv ω=⊥ , ( )mceBB γω = , ( )ϑ,rBB = the

The electron velocity vector is given by [7]

here DDD bντ ,, are the tangent, normal, and binormal to
the drift path, the angle Θ is measured from the normal
Dν to the direction of vector Db− , Bω=Θ , Fig. 1.
We note that the position of the electron on the Lar-
mor circle is described by an angle Θ , which is meas-
ured from the direction of the normal Dν to the drift
trajectory.
1.1. RADIATION POINTS
The detector is located at the point OP with Carte-
sian coordinates ( )ZYD ,,− , Fig. 1. The line of sight is
directed from the detection point OP to the radiation
point eP , denote unit vector in the direction eO PP as n .
The high energetic electrons emit their synchrotron ra-
diation practically along their velocity vector (2), Fig. 1.
The coordinates of radiation point are founded out
after equating components zy nn −− , to the directional
cosines of velocity vector, i. e., equations 0=+ vnv are
solved.
For any ϑ,r the third coordinate of radiation point
takes a value ϕπϕ ∆+= 2/ , where ϕ∆ is the first-
order correction with respect to 1<<Rr , 1<<α .

arqnrq models the safe

radius [11]. Larmor radius Br is not taken into account
because of its smallness.
Formulas (3) and (4) can be illustrated by visual ge-
ometric constructions.
The formulae (3), (4) are consistent with
eqs. (9), (10) in [12], only you need to pay attention to
the fact that our angle Θ is measured from the normal
to the drift trajectory. As, the unit vector Dν has almost
constant orientation along the unit vector y−e , this
simplifies calculations.
Further, we assume 0=Z , 0=− RY .
1In [7, eq. 5] should be ( ) ϑsinRqr D instead of
( ) .cosϑRqr D
The range of angles ϑ depends on pitch-angles α .
As can see from eq. (3), there are constraints on ac-
ceptable angles ϑ when ( )0cosϑα DDRqr< , Fig. 2.
The angle 0ϑ specifies the direction of the line
AA ′ to the vertical axis ( Z -axis), Fig. 2.
Using (3), we obtain 2π=Θ at the point
( )2, 0 πϑ +rA . At this point, the drift velocity vector is
directed to the detector (the projection to the ( )zx,
plane, more correctly).
Suppose, the radiation point is in the line OC then
the point C has coordinates ( )00 ,ϑr . There are not radi-
ation points for 0rr > along this direction. From eq. (3)
we obtain ( ) 000 cosϑα Rrqr D= . The larger pitch-angles
α give larger values of the radius 0r , (the dash-dotted
curve in Fig. 2)
Fig. 2. Scheme of the synchrotron radiation spot.
Z=0, R=Y
If 0=α the radiation spot is converted into line
AA ′ , which has an angle 20 πϑϑ +=A , where
DqRA == ϑϑ ctgtg 0 , [12].
There are two solutions of eq. (3), i. e. Θ± .
Substituting Θ=Θ1 and Θ−=Θ2 into eq. (4), we
obtain azimuthal coordinates 1ϕ and 2ϕ of two radiation
points. The angular difference between these points is

There is one radiation point at lines BB ′ and CC ′ ,
0=∆ϕ for these lines of sight. The line BB ′ is de-
scribed by ( ) ( ) ( )000cos rqrrqr =−ϑϑ as it follows
from eq. (3).
The distance 10 rrr −=∆ from the boundary line
BB ′ to the point, for which the angular distance be-
tween the radiation points decreases to γ1 , γϕ 1~∆ ,
can be estimated as ( )205.0 αγrr =∆ .
The ultrarelativistic electron radiates into a narrow
cone along the instantaneous velocity vector, the angu-
lar width of the cone is of the order γ1 . From the vec-
tor product, [ ] γ1~/, zvvn− , we can estimate that cor-
rections to the rhs of (4) are of the order γ1 .
The electron passes the distance BSC vl ωπ /2||≈ in
one revolution around magnetic field line. This distance
corresponds to an angle ( )Rv BSC ωπα ||2≈ . Then, the
ratio of the angle between the radiation points to the
angle SCα is ||sin2 vRq BSCSC παωαϕ Θ=∆= , or
πΘ= sinaSC qq , where aq is given by (7).
2. SYNCHROTRON RADIATION
FORMULAE
The synchrotron radiation of an ultrarelativistic elec-
tron moving along a circle is formed on a small segment
of circle with an angular opening γ2 . For an ensemble
of electrons we integrate the spectral angular distribu-
tion over the solid angle assuming that the magnetic
field is not strong anisotropic in angles γ1~ [13, 1].
The spectral power density of synchrotron radiation
emitted by an relativistic electron moving along a circu-
lar path with a curvature radius curvR at wavelength λ
is expressed by [13, 14]

the unit vector of σ -polarization, k is the unit wave
vector, νK is the Macdonald function. Linearly polar-
ized radiation is described by eq. (5) [13].
As shown in [8 - 10], the curvature radius of the tra-
jectory, which is formed by the motion of an electron
with guiding center on a circle of radius R ( DR for the
trajectory (2)), is equal to

At each point of radiation, there are electrons with
( )π2,0∈Θ , but radiation is detected from the electron
with a definiteΘ . This angle defines the direction of
acceleration of the radiating electron.
In this case, the radius of curvature is greater on the
side of the small circle closer to the center of the large
circle of torus.
The parameter aq is defined as the quotient of the
acceleration of the particle motion in the small Larmor
circle to the centrifugal acceleration due to movement in
the larger circumference of radius equal to the curvature
radius of drift trajectory. Also, it is the ratio of Larmor’s
speed BBrω to the speed of centrifugal drift.
Available coordinates ( )ϕϑ,,r of the guiding center
of electron are given by (3), (4). At the point, the curva-
ture radius ( )ϕϑ,,rRD of the drift trajectory is calculat-
ed. Further, the value ( )ϑ,rB of magnetic field is found
at this point.

2.1. POLARIZATION VECTOR
To describe the polarization properties we use the
Stokes parameters VUQI ,,, . According [13, eq. (3.13)]
the Stokes parameters for the radiation from an individ-
ual electron are given by

where ( )πχ ,0∈ is the angle between some arbitrary
fixed direction, axis z0 in our case, and the major axis
of the ellipse of polarization. The angle χ is measured
clockwise from the selected direction if the coordinate
axes is taken as in Fig. 2. λddPi is given by eq. (5).
As consequence of the integration the synchrotron
radiation formulae over the solid angle, the parameter
V , which indicates the presence of elliptically polarized
radiation, is equal zero, 0=V [13].
For the ensemble of particles, the Stokes parameters
are equal to the sum of the parameters of the individual
particles.

Then the degree of polarization is defined as [13]

The rule according [13] is “from two values of the
angle πχ ≤≤0 we choose that which lies in the first
quadrant if 0>U and in the second if 0<U .”
As known, the direction of the larger axis of polari-
zation ellipse (σ -component) for synchrotron emission
of relativistic electrons moving on a circular orbit coin-
cides with the direction of particle’s acceleration [14].
Let χ be an angle between the axis z0 and the elec-
tron acceleration a . Taking into account the smallness
of angle between the line of sight and axis x0 , we find

Here, corrections of the first order of smallness, as in
[7], are not given,
It follows from (3) that each ϑ corresponds to two
values of Θ . Substituting them into (4) we get two val-
ues of the angle ϕ. It turns out that electrons radiate
from two different places.
We add up Stokes parameters for these two emitting
regions, 21 QQQ += , 21 UUU += . Expressions (14),
(15) are substituted for χsin , χcos in trigonometric
formulas for doubled angles in (10), (11).
Using Eqs. (3)-(15) we will calculate the distribu-
tions of the total intensity I , degree of polarization Π
and polarization directions χ in the synchrotron radia-
tion spot from a homogenous electron beam with radius

r = 5…24 cm, D = 186 cm, B0 = 2⋅104 G, |γ = 80,
q0 = 1, n = 2, a = 45 cm
3. DISCUSSION
We take a small arc of the electron path and use in-
tegrated over solid angle the classical synchrotron radia-
tion formulae (5).
The distribution of total power I in the area of syn-
chrotron spot is shown in Fig. 3 if electrons uniformly
distributed in a limited range of angles The radiation
point coordinates are plotted in (y, z)-plane. The color
(gray colormap) shows the radiation power (in arbitrary
units) at a given wavelength λ (in this case, the wave-
length λ = 5 µm), the range of pitch angles is from 0.08
to 0.15 rad. One can see the broadening of the spot with
increasing pitch angles α. The increased brightness is
observed inside the spot where the emissions of parti-
cles with different α are summed.
The radiation will be strongly influenced by the dis-
tribution of electrons over the pitch angle. The presence
of particles with different pitch angles and inhomogene-
ity of magnetic field directions will cause the radiating
hollow cone with an opening angle α to become filled,
or partially filled. Then, we can integrate eqs. (5) over
angles Θ to obtain formulae from [8 - 10].

The directions of polarization in the synchrotron ra-
diation spot are shown in Fig. 4. The length of dashes is
proportional to the degree of polarization. In the upper
part of the figure, a case when the contribution to the
polarization comes from two emission points has been
considered. The degree of polarization varies from 0 to
72%. This range of values depends on α and γ. Polariza-
tion directions are orthogonal. There are regions with
small and zero polarization.
ISSN 1562-6016. ВАНТ. 2018. №4(116) 101
To understand how such polarization pattern is
formed, the particle accelerations (directions of normal
to the trajectory (2)) are shown in the lower part of
Fig. 4. Two arrows at each point correspond to two val-
ues of the angle Θ± in eq. (3). The contribution to radi-
ation comes from two waves of equal intensity linearly
polarized along these directions. The radiation of two
waves of equal intensity linearly polarized along these
directions is added at each point. The Stokes parameter
0=U in this case. The degree of polarization of the
total wave vanishes if the initial waves have orthogonal
directions of polarizations. For the range of pitch angles,
these regions of zero polarization expand.
It should be noted the change of the polarization di-
rection on 90°. The polarization from ‘horizontal’ paral-
lel to the y axis becomes ‘vertical’ parallel to the Z axis.
An important result is the presence of regions of ze-
ro polarization. Their presence allows us to speak of
contributions to radiation from two different regions,
which in turn will speak of the stability of the magnetic
field directions.
Also, one can talk about the directions of the mag-
netic field having a polarization pattern.
New relationships between the parameters of the
emitting electrons and the magnetic field obtained from
measurements of polarization can give additional data
for the diagnostics of electron beams.
They will complement the ratios obtained from
measurements of the total intensity of the synchrotron
radiation of runaway electrons.

О ПОЛЯРИЗАЦИИ СИНХРОТРОННОГО ИЗЛУЧЕНИЯ УБЕГАЮЩИХ ЭЛЕКТРОНОВ
В ТОРОИДАЛЬНОМ МАГНИТНОМ ПОЛЕ
Я.М. Соболев
Рассмотрены условия формирования поляризации синхротронного излучения убегающих электронов. Оце-
нена излучаемая мощность и направления поляризации в пятне синхротронного излучения убегающих элек-
тронов в зависимости от питч-углов излучающих электронов. Измерение поляризации синхротронного излу-
чения может быть дополнительным средством для диагностики излучающих релятивистских электронов.
ПРО ПОЛЯРИЗАЦІЮ СИНХРОТРОННОГО ВИПРОМІНЮВАННЯ УТІКАЮЧИХ ЕЛЕКТРОНІВ

Я.М. Соболєв
Розглянуто умови формування поляризації синхротронного випромінювання утікаючих електронів. На-
дані оцінки потужності випромінювання і напрями поляризації в плямі синхротронного випромінювання
утікаючих електронів у залежності від пітч-вуглів випромінюючих електронів. Вимірювання поляризації
синхротронного випромінювання може слугувати додатковим засобом для діагностики релятивістських еле-
ктронів.
