Abstract
The generation of narrow beams of high-energy positrons (electrons) in the process of resonant photogeneration of ultrarelativistic electron-positron pairs by high-energy gamma quanta in the field of the nucleus and a strong electromagnetic wave is theoretically predicted. It is shown that if the energy of the initial gamma quanta significantly exceeds the characteristic energy of the process, then ultrarelativistic positrons (for channel A) or electrons (for channel B) are emitted with energies very close to the energy of gamma quanta. Moreover, the resonant differential cross-section of such processes can exceed the corresponding differential cross-section without an external field by thirteen orders of magnitude. This effect makes it possible to obtain narrow beams of ultrarelativistic positrons (electrons) in strong electromagnetic fields with high probability.
