Abstract
We calculate to post(3.5)-Newlonian order of approximation of general relativity the radiation-reaction part of the ADM Hamiltonian for a ma ny-body system of nonspinning point masses. The Hamiltonian is applied to the derivation of the gravitational energy loss of a gravitational ly bound two-body system in quasielliptic motion. Agreement with the k nown result for the time-averaged energy loss is obtained to order (up silon/c)(7).
