Radiative Correction to the Casimir Force on a Sphere — •Michael Bordag and Joachim Lindig — Institut für Theoretische Physik
Universität Leipzig
Augustusplatz 10/11, 04109 Leipzig
The first radiative corrections to the Casimir effect on a conducting sphere are calculated in QED. The quantization is done in covariant gauge. For a radius of the sphere larger than the Compton wavelength of the electron the correction is of order α λc /R.
