From the development of the electron theory by H. A. Lorentz in 1906, many authors have tried to reformulate this model. P. A. M. Dirac derived the relativistic-classical electron model in 1938, which is now called the Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac…

We explore a novel method of describing the radiation friction of particles traveling through a mechanically resistive medium. We introduce a particle motion induced matter warping along the path in a manner assuring that charged particle…
The incompatibility between Larmor's formula for radiation losses (at a rate proportional to square of the acceleration of the electric charge) and the radiation reaction (the rate of loss of momentum of the accelerated charge proportional…
