Exact final state integrals for strong field QED

Abstract

This paper introduces the exact, analytic integration of all final state variables for the process of nonlinear Compton scattering in an intense plane wave laser pulse, improving upon a previously slow and challenging numerical approach. Computationally simple and insightful formulae are derived for the total scattering probability and mean energy-momentum of the emitted radiation. The general form of the effective mass appears explicitely. We consider several limiting cases, and present a quantum correction to Larmor's formula. Numerical results are plotted and analysed in detail.
