The Eikonal Approximation and the Gravitational Dynamics of Binary Systems
arXiv:2009.11053
Abstract
In this thesis we study the conservative gravitational dynamics of binary systems using the eikonal approximation; allowing us to use scattering amplitude techniques to calculate dynamical quantities in classical gravity. This has implications for the study of binary black hole systems and their resulting gravitational waves.
