Future experiments are using silicon detectors in a high radiation environment and in high magnetic fields. The radiation tolerance of silicon improves by cooling it to temperatures below 180 K. At low temperatures the mobility increases, which leads to larger deflections of the charge carriers by the Lorentz force. A good knowledge of the Lorentz angle is needed for design and operation of sil...

It is demonstrated how the right hand sides of the Lorentz Transformation equations may be written, in a Lorentz invariant manner, as 4–vector scalar products. This implies the existence of invariant length intervals analogous to invariant proper time intervals. The formalism is shown to provide a short derivation of the Lorentz force law of classical electrodynamics, and the conventional defin...

In the first sections of this article, we discuss two variations on Maxwell’s equations that have been introduced in earlier work—a class of nonlinear Maxwell theories with well-defined Galilean limits (and correspondingly generalized Yang-Mills equations), and a linear modification motivated by the coupling of the electromagnetic potential with a certain nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In the ...

Photon emission from a uniformly accelerated charge is among the most mysterious physical phenomena. Theories based on Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac equation mostly conclude that point cannot feel radiation reaction. Such conclusion suggests origin of photon energy unclear. In this paper, we determine self-force charged sphere using Lorentz force equation, with an assumption Lorentz-contracted during a...

Synthetic magnetism in cold atomic gases opened the doors to many exciting novel physical systems and phenomena. Ubiquitous are the methods used for the creation of synthetic magnetic fields. They include rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensates employing the analogy between the Coriolis and the Lorentz force, and laser-atom interactions employing the analogy between the Berry phase and the A...

The axiomatic structure of the electromagnetic theory is outlined. We will base classical electrodynamics on (1) electric charge conservation, (2) the Lorentz force, (3) magnetic flux conservation, and (4) on the Maxwell-Lorentz spacetime relations. This yields the Maxwell equations. The consequences will be drawn, inter alia, for the interpretation and the dimension of the electric and magneti...
