Radiation Reaction fields for an accelerated dipole for scalar and electromagnetic radiation

The radiation reaction fields are calculated for an accelerated changing dipole in scalar and electromagnetic radiation fields. The acceleration reaction is shown to alter the damping of a time varying dipole in the EM case, but not the scalar case. In the EM case, the dipole radiation reactionfield can exert a force on an accelerated monopole charge associated with the accelerated dipole. The ...

Electromagnetic Dipole Radiation Fields, Shear-Free Congruences and Complex Center of Charge World Lines

We show that for asymptotically vanishing Maxwell fields in Minkowski space with non-vanishing total charge, one can find a unique geometric structure, a null direction field, at null infinity.. From this structure a unique complex analytic world-line in complex Minkowski space that can be found and then identified as the complex center of charge. By ”sitting” in an imaginary sense, on this wor...

Asymptotic Theory for Dipole Radiation

The basic theory for dipole radiation in the presence of a two-layer half-space is outlined with special reference to its use as a model for studying radio propagation through and over heavily vegetated terrain. The source dipole may be located above or below the top surface of the slab. The dipole orientation is either vertical or horizontal. The asymptotic derivations for the field expression...

Skin Reaction in Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer

Introduction The first medical intervention for many breast cancer patients is breast conserving surgery (BCS) and/or modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Most of these patients undergo radiation therapy, following surgery. The most common side-effect of breast radiotherapy is skin damage. In the present study, the severity of acute skin changes and the underlying causes were investigated in pati...
