Abstract: We propose classical equations of motion for a charged particle with magnetic moment, taking radiation reaction into account. This generalizes the Landau-Lifshitz equations for the spinless case. In the special case of spin-polarized motion in a constant magnetic field (synchrotron motion) we verify that the particle does lose energy. Previous proposals did not predict dissipation of energy and also suffered from runaway solutions analogous to those of the Lorentz-Dirac equations of motion.

Review text

The paper deals with the problem of modeling classical motion of a particle like electron in a magnetic field. Applying a prescription similar to that of Landau and Lifshitz to the Barut-Zanghi equation, the authors propose a new equation of motion for a radiating spinning charged particle with gyromagmetic ration \(2\). They show that, at least for spin-polarized orbits in a constant magnetic field, the orbits decay as expected physically. Previous proposals did not predict dissipation of energy and also suffered from runaway solutions analogous to those of the Lorentz-Dirac equations of motion. Also, the authors present solutions of the Barut-Zanghi equation for a non-radiating charged particle in a constant magnetic field.
