ABSTRACT
A new derivation of the motion of a radiating electron is given, leading to a formulation that differs from the Lorentzâ€“Abrahamâ€“Dirac equation and its published modifications. It satisfies the proper conservation laws. Particularly, it conserves the generalized momentum, eliminating the symmetry-breaking runaway solution. The equation allows a consistent calculation of the electron current, the radiation effect on the electron momentum, and the radiation itself, for a single electron or plasma electrons in strong electromagnetic fields. The equation is then applied to a simulation of a strong laser pulse interaction with a plasma target. Some analytical solutions are also provided.

In this paper, we consider a rotating heavy quark-antiquark ( $q\bar{q}$) pair in a ${\mathcal{N}}=4$ SYM thermal plasma. We assume that $q\bar{q}$ center of mass moves at the speed v and furthermore they rotate around the center of mass. We use the AdS/CFT correspondence and consider the effect...

A quasiclassical theory of the synchrotron-like gluon radiation has been developed. The calculations show that the parton energy loss due to the synchrotron gluon emission may be important in the jet quenching phenomenon if the plasma instabilities generate a sufficiently strong chromomagnetic...

We discuss dissipation process in the shock transition region based on our recent numerical simulation results. We have performed self-consistent particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation and found that electron kinetics plays an important role in the dissipation process as well as generation process of...

We discuss the nonlinear instability of some class of stationary solutions to the one-dimensional Vlasov-Yukawa system with a mass parameter m. The Vlasov-Yukawa system corresponds to the short-range correction of the repulsive Vlasov-Poisson system arising from plasma physics. We show that the...

On the basis of two-dimensional coupled relativistic Fokkerâ€“Planck and fluid simulations, the core heating by fast electron beam in subignition cone-guiding fast ignition targets is investigated. It was found that the magnetic field due to the thermoelectric current reduces the beam...
