Abstract
I use the recently developed massive field approach to calculate the scalar self-force on a static particle in a Schwarzschild spacetime. In this approach the scalar self-force is obtained from the difference between the (massless) scalar field, and an auxiliary massive scalar field combined with a certain limiting process. By applying this approach to a static particle in Schwarzschild I show that the scalar self-force vanishes in this case. This result conforms with a previous analysis [A. G. Wiseman, Phys. Rev. D 61, 084014 (2000).].Keywords
