Scalar QED as a toy model for higher-order effects in classical gravitational scattering

Zvi Bern, Juan Pablo Gatica, Enrico Herrmann +2

Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) serves as a useful toy model for classical observables in gravitational two-body systems with reduced complexity due to the linearity of QED. We inves…
