Abstract

Nonrelativistic radiation reaction theory points out the need for incorporating structure in the theory of the electron (since the assumption of a point electron leads to problems with causality). Thus the question arises as to whether other well-known results need to be modified to incorporate structure effects. Here, we show that the Larmor formula is one such result requiring modification. © 1991 The American Physical Society.
