The radiative correction to the equation of motion for a moving charged particle is one of the oldest open problems in physics. The problem originates in the emission of radiation by an accelerated charge, which must result in a loss of…
A charged particle subject to strong external forces will accelerate, and so radiate energy, inducing a self-force. This phenomenon remains contentious, but advances in laser technology mean we will soon encounter regimes where a more…
The Lorentz-Dirac radiation reaction formula predicts that the position shift of a charged particle due to the radiation reaction is of first order in acceleration if it undergoes a small acceleration. A semi-classical calculation shows…
