Radiation of non-relativistic particle on a conducting sphere and a string of spheres

TL;DR

This paper investigates the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a non-relativistic charged particle moving uniformly near a conducting sphere, using electrostatic image methods to derive rigorous results.

Contribution

It provides a novel application of electrostatic image methods to analyze radiation from non-relativistic particles near conducting spheres.

Findings

Derived rigorous expressions for radiation fields.

Analyzed the influence of sphere geometry on radiation.

Established a foundation for further studies on particle-sphere interactions.

Abstract

The radiation arising under uniform motion of non-relativistic charged particle by (or through) perfectly conducting sphere is considered. The rigorous results are obtained using the method of images known from electrostatics.
