Dynamics of Emitting Electrons in Strong Electromagnetic Fields

Abstract

We derive a modified non-perturbative Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac equation. It satisfies the proper conservation laws, particularly, it conserves the generalized momentum, the latter property eliminates the symmetry-breaking runaway solution. The equation allows a consistent calculation of the electron current, the radiation effect on the electron momentum, and the radiation itself, for a single electron or plasma electrons in strong electromagnetic fields. The equation is applied to a simulation of a strong laser pulse interaction with a plasma target. Some analytical solutions are also provided.

The original form of this paper was submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett. on August 3, 2008. The current version of the paper is substantially extended and includes modifications resulting from points raised during the review process
