Radiative friction in the Lorentz-Dirac equation and its decomposition in the interaction constant. (English) Zbl 0948.78004
Summary: The nonlinear Lorentz-Dirac equation of motion for charged particle, if one takes into account radiative friction can be written in dimensionless variables. Then, there is a possibility of introducing the constant of fine structure and following approximate solving it. This result may be used for more precise calculation of energy losses.
