Radiation Reaction in Noncommutative Electrodynamics

AbstractWe study the radiation reaction acting on an accelerating charge moving in noncommutative spacetime and obtain an expression for it. Radiation reaction, due to a nonrelativistic point charge, is found to receive a small noncommutative correction term. The Abraham –Lorentz equation for a point charge in noncommutative spacetime suffers from the preacceleration and the runaway problems. We explore as an application the radiation reaction experienced by a charge which undergoes harmonic oscillations in a noncommutative plane.
