Generation of intensive long-wavelength edge radiation in high-energy electron storage rings

Computation results on bending magnet edge radiation (ER) in the 2.5 GeV electron storage ring Siberia-2 are reported. Special features of the ER in high-energy electron storage rings are discussed. This radiation differs from standard synchrotron radiation as well as from short-wavelength ER in proton storage rings. Emission peculiarities of the long-wavelength ER in high-energy electron storage rings are considered. The ER is shown to possess certain features of long-wavelength bremsstrahlung.<>
