A well known example in quantum electrodynamics (QED) shows that Coulomb scattering of unpolarized electrons, calculated to lowest order in perturbation theory, yields a results that exactly coincides (in the non-relativistic limit) with…
The classical and the quantum scattering of two maximally-charged dilaton black holes which have low velocities are studied. We find a critical value for the dilaton coupling, $a^2=1/3$. For $a^2>1/3$, two black holes are always scattered…

We take into account the Coulomb (N + 1)-body problem with N = 12, 24, 60. One of the particles has positive charge Q > 0, and the remaining N have all the same negative charge q < 0. These particles move under the Coulomb force, and the…

The self-force expansion allows the study of deviations from geodesic motion due to the emission of radiation and its consequent back-reaction. We investigate this scheme within the on-shell framework of semiclassical scattering amplitudes…
We integrate numerically the nonlinear equation of motion for a collapsing spherical wavepacket in the context of theories that are expected to display behavior characteristic of classicalization. The classicalization radius sets the scale…
The goal of this article is to investigate the dynamics of semi-relativistic or non-relativistic charged particles in interaction with a scalar meson field. Our main contribution is the derivation of the classical dynamics of a…

We consider a motion of a weakly relativistic charged particle with an arbitrary spin in central potential $e/r$ in terms of classical mechanics. We show that the spin-orbital interaction causes the precession of the plane of orbit around…
