Radiated momentum in the post-Minkowskian worldline approach via reverse unitarity
Abstract We compute the four-momentum radiated during the scattering of two spinless bodies, at leading order in the Newton’s contant G and at all orders in the velocities, using the Effective Field Theory worldline approach. Following [1], we derive the conserved stress-energy tensor linearly coupl...
