Semi-analytical representation of the Gaunt-modified Landau-Lifshitz equation in a plane wave
Abstract
We analyze electron dynamics in a plane electromagnetic wave using the Landau-Lifshitz equation with a quantum radiation reaction correction modelled by a Gaunt factor. In this geometry, the quantum parameter χ depends solely on the lightfront momentum, allowing the modified equation of motion to retain the integrable structure of the classical problem. We derive a semi-analytical solution for the energy evolution and the four-velocity, which reduces to the known classical result in the appropriate limit. The results provide an analytical and deterministic description of semiclassical radiation reaction in plane-wave fields.
