Exact solution to the Landau-Lifshitz equation in a constant electromagnetic field

Abstract: We are interested in the motion of a classical charge acted upon an external constant electromagnetic field where the back reaction of the particle's own field is taken into account. The Landau-Lifshitz approximation to the Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac equation is solved exactly and in closed form. It is shown that the ultrarelativistic limit of the Landau-Lifshitz equation for a radiating charge is the equation for eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the external electromagnetic field tensor.

“…As a check, we note that for a constant electric field, a = 0, and p ⊥ = 0, the LL solution ( 9) and the Lorentz solution (4) agree, and also solve the LAD equation. This is consistent with the literature result that there is 'no radiation reaction for hyperbolic motion' [35][36][37]; there is though radiation [35, 38, p. 399].…”

“…Many authors have found exact solutions to the LAD and/or LL equations in a number of field configurations, including fields depending only on time [28], constant electromagnetic fields [36,52,53], rotating electric fields [5,53,54], the Coulomb potential in the nonrelativistic limit [55], and plane waves [45,46]. These works, the majority of which predate the RFD hypothesis, contain implicit support for it.…”

“…A study of the numerical properties of the LL system in a constant magnetic field is presented in [20], and analytical solutiond of the LL equation in constant fields appear in [21] and [22]. We note that each component of the LL acceleration is equivalent to the numerator in the corresponding EFO accelerations, Eq.…”

“…It is known that the eigenvalues of the matrix F = F µ ν = F µρ g ρν , are the roots of the fourthdegree polynomial with invariants (1/2)F µν * F µν = ( E, B) and (1/2)F µν F µν = (B 2 − E 2 ) in the coefficients (for example see [56,57]). Therefore, the eigenvalues of the matrix Λ = −2eF are the roots of the equation…”
