Abstract

In the previous Chapter, we introduced three models for radiation reaction, derived the equation of evolution for their successive energy moments and deduced the threshold for the increase or decrease of these moments. Here, we will use this hierarchy of moment equations to identify the domains of validity of the various descriptions of radiation reaction.

Notes

  1. 1.

    There is of course a degree of arbitrariness here, and the domain of validity can be adjusted depending on the required degree of precision
