Pair production by a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave in plasma

Abstract

We present the results of the calculation of the electron-positron pair creation probability by the circularly polarized electromagnetic wave during its propagation in underdense collisionless plasmas. The dependence of the probability on the frequency and the amplitude of the pulse is studied in detail.
