Self-force on a point particle falling into a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole

I investigate the electromagnetic self-force on a point charge falling radially into a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole. The self-force results from an interaction between a small piece of the radiated field emitted by the particle in its past history that has backscattered off the spacetime curvature...
