Analysis reveals non-zero Poynting vector in Rindler's frame, suggesting radiation impact in Minkowski frame.
We consider an electric charge uniformly accelerating along x direction and moving with constant velocity along y direction. We show that in the co-accelerating along x direction Rinder's frame this charge creates non-zero Poynting vector, which, however, does not lead to a non-vanishing flux through an infinitely distant surface. Furthermore, we show that in the laboratory Minkowski frame such a charge creates a stress energy flux that does not vanish at infinity. We interpret these observations as that while the Rindler's frame corresponds to the static zone around the charge, the Minkowski frame does contain the wave zone. We give detailed calculations and explanations concluding that uniformly accelerating charge does radiate
