* ``<species_name>.do_classical_radiation_reaction`` (`int`) optional (default `0`)
Enables Radiation Reaction (or Radiation Friction) for the species. Species
must be either electrons or positrons. Boris pusher must be used for the
simulation. If both ``<species>.do_classical_radiation_reaction`` and
``<species_name>.do_qed_quantum_sync`` are enabled, then the classical module
will be used when the particle's chi parameter is below ``qed_qs.chi_min``,
the discrete quantum module otherwise.

Just a quick comment: classical radiation reaction does not require a compilation with WarpX_QED=ON, since it is just a modified Boris pusher.


Lookup tables store pre-computed values for functions used by the QED modules.
**This feature requires to compile with QED=TRUE (and also with QED_TABLE_GEN=TRUE for table generation)**
This feature requires with the extra build option ``-DWarpX_QED_TABLE_GEN=ON`` for table generation.

We can update this: either you compile with DWarpX_QED_TABLE_GEN=ON or you use the external table generator (we can link the documentation page that explains how to use it).
