Abstract

Within classical electrodynamics, exact formulas for calculating the radiation loss of the energy of a point charge undergoing hyperbolic motion, including the relativistic region, are proposed. For an ultrarelativistic particle, the improved radiation loss factor \( \frac{4} {5} \) γ 2 · e 2 · a 2 was obtained instead of the commonly used Larmor quantity \( \frac{2} {3} \) γ 2 · e 2 · a 2.
