Description
I will review recent work to apply self-force methods to the black-hole scattering problem in the extreme-mass-ratio domain, enabling useful comparisons with similar calculations in post-Minkowskian theory. In particular, I will demonstrate how benchmarking of scattering observables using self-force data can inform efficient resummations of post-Minkowskian formulas that remain accurate even in the strong-field regime.
