Description
It is commonly known that charged particles can be accelerated to extremely high energy by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. Black holes accelerate particles electromagnetically through an electric field that the source induces. Under such circumstances, the accelerated particles radiate electromagnetic waves, which cause the backreaction force to appear. We study the dynamics of radiating charged particles in the vicinity of a weakly charged Schwarzschild black hole. Starting with the description of a flat spacetime, we solve the Lorentz-Dirac equation in its simplified Landau-Lifshitz form. In curved spacetime, we use the DeWitt-Brehme equation and discuss the effect of the self-force, also known as the tail term.
