Charged-Particle Interactions: Radiation Loss, Range
The sudden deflection of an electron by the Coulomb field of nuclei can cause the electron to radiate, producing a continuous spectrum of x-rays called bremsstrahlung. The fraction of electron energy converted into bremsstrahlung increases with increasing electron energy and is greater for media of high atomic number. (This process is important in the production of x-rays in conventional x-ray ...
متن کاملRadiation reaction for a massless charged particle
We derive effective equations of motion for a massless charged particle coupled to the dynamical electromagnetic field having regard to the radiation back reaction. It is shown that unlike the massive case not all the divergences resulting from the self-action of the particle are Lagrangian, i.e. can be canceled out by adding appropriate counterterms to the original action. Besides, the order o...
متن کاملRadiation from a charged particle and radiation reaction – revisited
We study the electromagnetic fields of an arbitrarily moving charged particle and the radiation reaction on the charged particle using a novel approach. We first show that the fields of an arbitrarily moving charged particle in an inertial frame can be related in a simple manner to the fields of a uniformly accelerated charged particle in its rest frame. Since the latter field is static and eas...
متن کاملOn the energy and momentum of an accelerated charged particle and the sources of radiation
We give a systematic development of the theory of the radiation field of an accelerated charged particle with reference to an inertial reference frame in flat spacetime. Special emphasis is given to the role of the Schott energy and momentum in the energy–momentum balance of the charge and its field. It is shown that the energy of the radiation field does not, in general, come from the work per...
متن کاملExploration of jet energy loss via direct γ-charged particle azimuthal correlation measurements
The multiplicities of charged particles azimuthally associated with direct photons and π0 have been measured for Au+Au, p+p, and d+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV in the STAR experiment. Charged particles with transverse momentum 0.5 < ph ± T < 16 GeV/c for p+p and d+Au, and 3 < ph ± T < 16 GeV/c for Au+Au and pseudorapidity | η | ≤ 1.5 in coincidence with direct photons and π0 of high transve...
