Covariant Cherenkov Radiation and its Friction Force
Will Price, Martin S. Formanek, Johann Rafelski
We derive the covariant generalization of the Frank-Tamm formula describing the Cherenkov radiation by a charged particle moving uniformly with a speed faster than the local speed…
Signatures of vacuum birefringence in low-power flying focus pulses
Martin Formanek, John P. Palastro, Dillon Ramsey +2
Vacuum birefringence produces a differential phase between orthogonally polarized components of a weak electromagnetic probe in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field. Desp…
Dynamic Magnetic Response of Quark-Gluon Plasma to Electromagnetic Fields
Christopher Grayson, Martin Formanek, Johann Rafelski +1
We investigate the electromagnetic response of a viscous quark-gluon plasma in the framework of the relativistic Boltzmann equation with current conserving collision term. Our form…
Radiation reaction and limiting acceleration
Will Price, Martin Formanek, Johann Rafelski
We investigate the strong acceleration properties of the radiation reaction force and identify a new and promising limiting acceleration feature in the Eliezer-Ford-O'Connell model…
Radiation reaction friction: Resistive material medium
Martin Formanek, Andrew Steinmetz, Johann Rafelski
We explore a novel method of describing the radiation friction of particles traveling through a mechanically resistive medium. We introduce a particle motion induced matter warping…
Classical neutral point particle in linearly polarized EM plane wave field
Martin Formanek, Andrew Steinmetz, Johann Rafelski
We study a covariant classical model of neutral point particles with magnetic moment interacting with external electromagnetic fields. Classical dynamical equations which reproduce…
Magnetic Dipole Moment in Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
Andrew Steinmetz, Martin Formanek, Johann Rafelski
We investigate relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM) for particles with arbitrary magnetic moment. We compare two well known RQM models: a) Dirac equation supplemented with an incre…
Strong fields and neutral particle magnetic moment dynamics
Martin Formanek, Stefan Evans, Johann Rafelski +2
Interaction of magnetic moment of point particles with external electromagnetic fields experiences unresolved theoretical and experimental discrepancies. In this work we point out…
