Abstract
We define scattering data for the relativistic Newton equation in a static external electromagnetic field \({(-\nabla V, B)\in C^1(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R}^n)\times C^1(\mathbb{R}^n,A_n(\mathbb{R})), n\geq 2}\), that decays at infinity like \({r^{-\alpha-1}}\) for some \({\alpha\in (0,1]}\), where \({A_n(\mathbb{R})}\) is the space of \({n\times n}\) antisymmetric matrices. We prove, in particular, that the short-range part of \({(\nabla V,B)}\) can be reconstructed from the high-energy asymptotics of the scattering data provided that the long-range tail of \({(\nabla V,B)}\) is known. We consider also inverse scattering in other asymptotic regimes. This work generalizes [Jollivet (Asympt Anal 55:103–123, 2007)] where a short-range electromagnetic field was considered.
