High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-02-03 v2

Abstract

There are known problems with the standard Lorentz-Dirac description of radiation reaction in classical electrodynamics. The model of extended in one dimension particle is proposed and is shown that for this model there is no total change in particle momentum due to radiation reaction
