A spin on radiation reaction with cuts.
- Matteo Sergola
Description
In this talk I will derive radiation-reaction equations of motion for a spinning charged body through quadratic order in its spin, generalising the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation. This will be done by merging classical methods with tools of modern on-shell amplitude formalisms. To confirm the results of our framework, I will use both radiation-reaction equations and amplitude cuts to compute the waveform emitted in the scattering of the spinning body off a spectator charge, both at tree level and including the leading radiation-reaction correction at one loop.
