A new paradox in classical electrodynamics

School
PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS

Abstract:

In this talk, after reviewing some apparently paradoxical aspects of classical electrodynamics and their resolutions, I will introduce a new paradox concerning the energy conservation in classical electrodynamics which doesn't seem to be just an apparent one. Indeed, it seems that one can find neither a resolution inside the theory nor by delivering the problem to more fundamental theories like quantum theory and QFT. Calculations for various arrangements are done via CST, and also one arrangement is designed so that analytical solutions are possible. Also, all discerned loopholes are lifted and, in fact, the paradox ...
