Identifying regions of minimal back-scattering by a relativistically-moving sphere
Mitchell R. Whittam, Aristeidis G. Lamprianidis, Yannick Augenstein +1
The far-field back-scattering amplitude of an electric field from a relativistically-moving sphere is analyzed. Contrary to prior research, we do so by expressing the fields in the…
