The problem of radiation reaction in classical electrodynamics
Description
A new covariant theory of the classical radiating electron is compared with other radiation reaction theories: On the one hand, the new theory can be deduced from Caldirola's finite-differences theory by suitable approximations; on the other hand, the Lorentz-Dirac theory and the theory of Mo and Papas are shown to be approximative forms of the new theory (orig./BJ)
Abstract (German)
Eine neue kovariante Theorie des klassischen strahlenden Elektrons wird mit anderen Strahlungstheorien verglichen: Einerseits kann die neue Theorie mit geeigneten Naeherungen aus Caldirola's Theorie, welche die Methode der endichen Differenzen verwendet, abgeleitet werden; andererseits sind, wie sich zeigt, die Lorentz-Dirac'sch Theorie und die Theorie von Mo und Papas Naeherungen der neuen Theorie.
