The information about sizes and nuclear density distributions in unstable (radioactive) nuclei is usually extracted from the data on interaction of radioactive nuclear beams with a nuclear target. We show that in the case of nucleus-nucleus…
Radiation reaction has been investigated traditionally in classical dynamics and recently in non-linear QED for high-intensity field physics by high-intensity lasers. The non-linearity of QED is predicted as the coupling between a highly…
Starting from the Dirac equation coupled to a classical radiation field a set of equations of motion for charged quasi-particles in the classical limit for slowly varying radiation and matter fields is derived. The radiation reaction term…
Stimulated Raman scattering of an ultra-intense laser pulse in plasmas is studied by perturbatively including the leading order term of the Landau-Lifshitz radiation reaction force in the equation of motion for plasma electrons. In this…
I review a new rapidly growing area of high-energy plasma astrophysics --- radiative magnetic reconnection, i.e., a reconnection regime where radiation reaction influences reconnection dynamics, energetics, and nonthermal particle…
We derive dynamical, real time radiation reaction effects from lightfront QED. Combining the Hamiltonian formalism with a plane wave background field, the calculation is performed in the Furry picture for which the background is treated…
Motion of a point charge emitting radiation in an electromagnetic field obeys the Abraham-Lorenz-Dirac (ALD) equation, with the effects of radiation reaction or self-force incorporated. This class of equations describing backreaction,…
Back-reaction of fields plays an important role in the generation of particle masses and the mass-energy equivalence of special relativity, but the most natural demonstrations using classical models result in apparent errors such as the…
In this paper, we provide a simple and modern discussion of rotational superradiance based on quantum field theory. We work with an effective theory valid at scales much larger than the size of the spinning object responsible for…
We review a large body of predictions obtained within the framework of relativistic meson theory together with the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach to nuclear matter and finite nuclei. The success of this method has been largely…
Relativistic effects are investigated in nuclear matter calculations employing renormalized low-momentum nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) interactions. It is demonstrated that the relativistic effects cure a problem of non-relativistic low-momentum…
The analysis of this article is entirely within classical physics. Any attempt to describe nature within classical physics requires the presence of Lorentz-invariant classical electromagnetic zero-point radiation so as to account for the…
The gravitational radiation-reaction force acting on perfect fluids at 3.5 post-Newtonian order is cast into a form which is directly applicable to numerical simulations. Extensive use is made of metric-coefficient changes induced by…
We use effective field theory tools to study non-conservative effects in systems of gravitating objects in general spacetime dimension. Using the classical version of the Closed Time Path formalism, we treat both the radiative gravitational…
NMR spin-spin relaxation in solids in strong magnetic fields is normally described only with the help of the secular part of the full spin-spin interaction Hamiltonian. This approximation is associated with the averaging of the spin-spin…
We investigate the three-dimensional motion of a test particle in the gravitational field generated by a non-spherical compact object endowed with a mass quadrupole moment, described by the Erez-Rosen metric, and a radiation field,…
We extract all the invariants (i.e. all the functions which do not depend on the choice of phase-space coordinates) of the dynamics of two point-masses, at the third post-Newtonian (3PN) approximation of general relativity. We start by…
We discuss renormalization of the non-relativistic three-body problem with short-range forces. The problem is non-perturbative at momenta of the order of the inverse of the two-body scattering length. An infinite number of graphs must be…
The lowest energy levels of positronium are studied in the non-relativistic approximation within the framework of Relativistic Schr\"odinger Theory (RST). Since it is very difficult to find the exact solutions of the RST field equations…
