A solution for the radiation power and frequency spectrum of a relativistic electron beam passing through a strongly turbulent plasma is presented. Regions of intense, localized electrostatic fields in the plasma are characterized as dipolar ‘‘solitons.’’ A new regime of the beam-plasma interaction is identified with the range of beam parameters for which radiation from the beam dominates over the plasma radiation.
