Self-force approach to synchrotron radiation

Abstract

We analyze radiation reaction for synchrotron radiation by computing, via a multipole expansion, the near field evaluated on the world-line of the charge. We find that the temporal component of the self four-force agrees with the radiated power, which one calculates in the radiation zone. This is the case for each mode in the multipole decomposition. We also find agreement with the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation.
