Abstract
It appears from the analyses in Chaps. 14 and 18 that in a photon emission process from a charged-particle source, described by the microscopic current density distribution \(\vec{J}(\vec{r},t)\), the transverse photon embryo is never better confined in space than the extension of the transverse current density (\(\vec{{J}}_{\mathrm{T}}(\vec{r},t)\)) domain.
