Abstract: In a previous paper, based on the black hole perturbation approach, we formulated a new analytical method for regularizing the self-force acting on a particle of small mass mu orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole of mass M, where mullM. In our method, we divide the self-force into the ildeS-part and ildeR-part. All the singular behaviors are contained in the ildeS-part, and hence the ildeR-part is guaranteed to be regular. In this paper, focusing on the case of a scalar-charged particle for simplicity, we investigate the precision of both the regularized ildeS-part and the ildeR-part required for the construction of sufficiently accurate waveforms for almost circular inspiral orbits. For the regularized ildeS-part, we calculate it for circular orbits to 18 post-Newtonian (PN) order and investigate the convergence of the post-Newtonian expansion. We also study the convergence of the remaining ildeR-part in the spherical harmonic expansion. We find that a sufficiently accurate Green function can be obtained by keeping the terms up to ell=13.
