Conservative and radiative dynamics of spinning bodies at third post-Minkowskian order using worldline quantum field theory

Using the spinning worldline quantum field theory formalism we calculate the quadratic-in-spin momentum impulse \(\Delta p_i^\mu\) and spin kick \(\Delta a_i^\mu\) from a scattering of two arbitrarily oriented spinning massive bodies (black holes or neutron stars) in a weak gravitational background...

Zusammenfassung:Using the spinning worldline quantum field theory formalism we calculate the quadratic-in-spin momentum impulse \(\Delta p_i^\mu\) and spin kick \(\Delta a_i^\mu\) from a scattering of two arbitrarily oriented spinning massive bodies (black holes or neutron stars) in a weak gravitational background up to third post-Minkowskian (PM) order (\(G^3\)). Two-loop Feynman integrals are performed in the potential region, yielding conservative results. For spins aligned to the orbital angular momentum we find a conservative scattering angle that is fully consistent with state-of-the-art post-Newtonian results. Using the 2PM radiated angular momentum previously obtained by Plefka, Steinhoff and the present authors we generalize the angle to include radiation-reaction effects, in which case it avoids divergences in the high-energy limit.
