A non-relativistic model of plasma physics containing a radiation reaction term

A non-relativistic model of plasma physics containing a radiation reaction term

While a fully relativistic collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Maxwell system a good approximation in the non-relativistic limit is given by the Vlasov-Poisson system. We modify the Vlasov-Poisson system so that damping due to the relativistic effect of radiation reaction is included. We prove existence and uniqueness as well …
