1304.6842 (Anton Ilderton et al.)

Quantum and classical radiation reaction from lightfront QED    [PDF]

Anton Ilderton, Greger Torgrimsson
We derive finite time, dynamical radiation reaction effects from lightfront QED. Combining the Hamiltonian formalism with a null background field, the calculation is performed with no approximation other than the usual coupling expansion of perturbative QED. The literature contains many proposals for the correct classical equation describing a radiating particle; we take the classical limit of our results and identify which equations are consistent with QED.
