Scientific paper

The formation of fine structure in the lobes of radio galaxies due to synchrotron cooling is described. It is assumed that the magnetic fields in the lobes have an intermittent spatial distribution, which is amplified when the pressure of electrons (and positrons) declines due to synchrotron emission and when individual fluxropes are stretched by a shearing flow. The possibility of synchrotron cooling induced filamentation of magnetic fields is considered.
