Sumario:In the NA63 experiment of May 2016 the purpose was to look for the effect of radiation reaction as described in \cite{DiPiazza20171} but for positrons. The 180 GeV positron data which was taken during the run shows promising results, despite the fact that essentially half the useful time for pure data-taking, 5 days, was lost due to an incident in the PS. We are in the process of finalizing a manuscript to submitted, with the aim of publishing these results on quantum radiation reaction. For the next beam-time, in 2017, we will look at a different parameter range to enter the regime of classical radiation reaction instead of quantum radiation reaction which was seen in the 2016 experiment.
