Charged test-particle scattering and effective one-body metrics with spin
Abstract
Using recently developed techniques, we consider weak-field test-particle scattering angle calculations in two distinct settings: Charged test-particles in spacetimes of charged sources and Effective One-Body theory with spin. We present scattering angle calculations up to of charged particles in the Kerr-Newman metric, including electromagnetic interactions up to second order in charge. Coulomb scattering is also discussed, and the well-known Darwin scattering formula is rederived by resummation. An Effective One-Body metric for a Kerr-Schwarzschild binary is constructed in a post-Minkowskian framework up to and first order in spin. Facilitated by explicit scattering calculations, our approach is equivalent with existing literature through gauge-like transformations. Finally, we investigate if the Newman Janis Algorithm applied to an Effective One-Body metric of non-spinning binaries represents a binary system with spin.
