vanhees71 said:Why shouldn't two classical electrons accelerated in back-to-back motion due to their repulsion radiate?
Because the power radiated is proportional to the square of the change of their dipole moment, and the back to back electrons have a constant dipole moment (of zero). For this setup. Other setups would of course have different answers.
