Rutherford scattering with radiation damping
C. E. Aguiar, F. A. Barone
Abstract
We study the effect of radiation damping on the classical scattering of charged particles. Using a perturbation method based on the Runge-Lenz vector, we calculate radiative corrections to the Rutherford cross section, and the corresponding energy and angular momentum losses.
