Classical predictive electrodynamics of two charges with radiation: General framework. I

Classical predictive electrodynamics of two charges with radiation: Energy and 3-momentum balance and scattering cross sections. II

We deal with a classical predictive mechanical system of two spinless charges where radiation is considered and there are no external fields. The terms 122IPa" of the expansion in the charges of the Hamilton-Jacobi momenta are calculated. Using these, together with known previous results, we can obtain the p';, up to the fourth order. Then we have calculated the "radiated" energy and the 3-mome...

2 00 1 Classical electrodynamics of point charges Massimo Marino

A simple mathematical procedure is introduced which allows redefining in a precise way divergent integrals and limits that appear in the basic equations of classical electrodynamics with point charges. In this way all divergences are at once removed without affecting the locality and the relativistic covariance of the theory, and with no need for mass renormalization. The procedure provides fin...

In this way all divergences are at once removed without affecting the locality and the relativistic covariance of the theory, and with no need for mass renormalization. The procedure is first used...

Electrodynamics of Radiating Charges

The theory of electrodynamics of radiating charges is reviewed with special emphasis on the role of the Schott energy for the conservation of energy for a charge and its electromagnetic field. It is made clear that the existence of radiation from a charge is not invariant against a transformation between two reference frames that has an accelerated motion relative to each other. The questions w...
