107. There is max frequency of synchro radiation produced by shock-accelerated electrons. Even if we have relativistic shocks, so that  can be ~1 for each passage through the shock, there is a max energy attainable which corresponds to a  e for which t syn [propto 1/(  e B 2 )] is comparable to the gyroperiod (propto  e /B). t syn [propto 1/(  e B 2 )] is comparable to the gyroperiod (propto  e /B). This gives a max  e scaling as 1/B 1/2, This gives a max  e scaling as 1/B 1/2, so that S becomes independent of B and which corresponds to a wavelength e 2 /m e c 2 =classical electron radius: i.e. a photon of energy h S,max = m e c 2 /  F = 70 MeV. h S,max = m e c 2 /  F = 70 MeV.
