Presented here is a general view on adiabatic and resonant wave-particle interactions leading to a uniform description of nonlinear ponderomotive effects in very different environments, from low-temperature plasmas to relativistic plasmas…
We address some questions related to radiation and energy conservation in classical electromagnetism. We first treat the well-known problem of energy accounting during radiation from a uniformly accelerating particle. We present the problem…

In heavy-ion collisions the created quark-gluon plasma forms a quickly evolving background, leading to a time dependent radiative behavior of high momentum partons traversing the medium. We use the Schwinger Keldysh formalism to describe…

Doubts have been expressed in a comment (Eur. J. Phys., 39, 018001, 2018), about the tenability of the formulation for radiative losses in our recent published work (Eur. J. Phys., 37, 045210, 2016). We provide our reply to the comment. In…
We have obtained general expressions for the intensity of radiation, decelerating force, the rate of heating and acceleration of a small polarizable particle under the conditions of Cherenkov friction: at relativistic motion parallel to the…
A small polarizable object (an atom, molecule or nanoparticle), placed above a medium with flowing dc current in it, is considered. It is shown that the dc current can have a strong effect on the force exerted on the particle. The…
In this work, we first obtain the linear form of the scalar self-force and then, the effect of self-force on the particle's trajectory is considered. In de Sitter space-time, within the classical approach, we consider this effect. Finally,…
The subject of radiation reaction in classical electromagnetism remains controversial over 120 years after the pioneering work of Lorentz. We give a simple but rigorous treatment of the subject at the textbook level that explains the…
As a follow-up to our previous work on particle acceleration simulation near neutron stars, in this paper, we discuss the impact of radiation reaction on test particles injected into their magnetosphere. We therefore neglect the interaction…

Moving particles outside a star will generally experience quantum friction caused by the Unruh radiation reaction. There exist however radial trajectories that lack this effect (in the outgoing radiation sector, and ignoring…
