Description
Abstract: Motivated by the need for high-precision binary dynamics, I will present
preliminary results for the conservative scattering angle and impulse at fifth post-
Minkowskian and second self-force order, obtained using the WQFT framework. I
will also show how results resolve ambiguities related to a mysterious pole in the
physical region. Finally, I will present some recent comparisons between selfforce,
NR and our PM data (at 1SF) to demonstrate the physical accuracy of our
results and to motivate comparisons at the next SF order.
