Control of nonlinear Compton scattering in a squeezed vacuum

A. Di Piazza, K. Qu

Electromagnetic radiation by accelerated charges is a fundamental process in physics. Here, we introduce a quantum-optical framework for controlling the emission of radiation of an…

Coherent frequency combs from electrons colliding with a laser pulse

Michael J. Quin, Antonino Di Piazza, Matteo Tamburini

Highly coherent and powerful light sources capable of generating soft x-ray frequency combs are essential for high precision measurements and rigorous tests of fundamental physics.…

The electron mass shift in an intense plane wave

A. Di Piazza, T. Pătuleanu

Upcoming experiments on the interaction of electrons with intense laser fields are envisaged to become more and more accurate, which calls for theoretical computations of rates and…

Impact of the laser spatio-temporal shape on Breit-Wheeler pair production

A. Mercuri-Baron, M. Grech, F. Niel +4

The forthcoming generation of multi-petawatt lasers opens the way to abundant pair production by the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process, i.e., the decay of a photon into an electron-p…

First-order strong-field QED processes including the damping of particles states

T. Podszus, A. Di Piazza

Volkov states are exact solutions of the Dirac equation in the presence of an arbitrary plane wave. Volkov states, as well as free photon states, are not stable in the presence of…

Collisional strong-field QED kinetic equations from first principles

Gregor Fauth, Jürgen Berges, Antonino Di Piazza

Starting from nonequilibrium quantum field theory on a closed time path, we derive kinetic equations for the strong-field regime of quantum electrodynamics (QED) using a systematic…

Analytical spectrum of nonlinear Thomson scattering including radiation reaction

A. Di Piazza, G. Audagnotto

Accelerated charges emit electromagnetic radiation and the consequent energy-momentum loss alters their trajectory. This phenomenon is known as radiation reaction and the Landau-Li…

Unveiling the transverse formation length of nonlinear Compton scattering

A. Di Piazza

The process of emission of electromagnetic radiation does not occur instantaneously but it is "formed" over a finite time known as radiation formation time. In the ultrarelativisti…

Testing strong-field QED close to the fully non-perturbative regime using aligned crystals

A. Di Piazza, T. N. Wistisen, M. Tamburini +1

Processes occurring in the strong-field regime of QED are characterized by background electromagnetic fields of the order of the critical field in the rest…

Numerical approach to the semiclassical method of radiation emission for arbitrary electron spin and photon polarization

T. N. Wistisen, A. Di Piazza

We show how the semiclassical formulas for radiation emission of Baier, Katkov and Strakhovenko for arbitrary initial and final spins of the electron and arbitrary polarization of…
