Modified vacuum polarization in the presence of a plasma
Sebastian Lundström, Philip Semrén, Haidar Al-Naseri +1
We study vacuum polarization due to strong fields, in the presence of an electron-positron plasma. For this purpose, we expand quantum kinetic equations using weak fields and slow…
Anisotropic momentum distributions due to radiation recoil in relativistic plasmas with electric and magnetic fields
Haidar Al-Naseri
The interaction of strong electromagnetic fields with plasma generates radiation accompanied by a recoil force, which can significantly alter the plasma dynamics. In this work, we…
Simulating Unruh Radiation in High-Intensity Laser-Electron Interactions for Near-Term Experimental Tests
Rafi Hessami, Haidar Al-Naseri, Monika Yadav +3
The Unruh effect predicts that a uniformly accelerating observer perceives the vacuum as a thermal bath, yet direct observation remains elusive [1]. We simulate Unruh radiation in…
Probing the transition from classical to quantum radiation reaction in relativistic plasma
Haidar Al-Naseri, Gert Brodin
We study the transition from classical radiation reaction, described by the Landau-Lifshitz model, to the quantum mechanical regime. The plasma is subject to a circularly polarized…
Electron-positron pair annihilation in kinetic plasma
Haidar Al-Naseri
The process of electron positron pair annihilation, driven by strong fields (Inverse Schwinger mechanism) and high-frequency waves, is studied using the Dirac Heisenberg Wigner for…
Applicability of semi-classical theories in the strong field plasma regime
Haidar Al-Naseri, Gert Brodin
For many purposes, classical plasma dynamics models can work surprisingly well even for strong electromagnetic fields, approaching the Schwinger critical fields, and high frequenci…

Gert Brodin, Haidar Al-Naseri
We use a recently developed kinetic model derived from the Dirac equation, in order to study electromagnetic wave propagation in superstrong magnetic fields, such as in magnetars,…
Applicability of the Klein-Gordon equation for pair production in vacuum and plasma
Haidar Al-Naseri, Gert Brodin
In this paper, a phase-space description of electron-positron pair-creation will be applied, based on a Wigner transformation of the Klein-Gordon equation. The resulting theory is…
Ponderomotive force due to the intrinsic spin for electrostatic waves in a magnetized plasma
Haidar Al-Naseri, Gert Brodin
We study the contribution from the electron spin to the ponderomotive force, using a quantum kinetic model including the spin-orbit correction. Specifically, we derive an analytica…
Radiation reaction effects in relativistic plasmas -- the electrostatic limit
Haidar Al-Naseri, Gert Brodin
We study the evolution of electrostatic plasma waves, using the relativistic Vlasov equation extended by the Landau-Lifshitz radiation reaction, accounting for the back-reaction du…
Plasma dynamics at the Schwinger limit and beyond
Gert Brodin, Haidar Al-Naseri, Jens Zamanian +2
Strong field physics close to or above the Schwinger limit are typically studied with vacuum as initial condition, or by considering test particle dynamics. However, with a plasma…
Linear pair creation damping of high frequency plasma oscillation
H. Al-Naseri, G. Brodin
We have studied the linear dispersion relation for Langmuir waves in plasmas of very high density, based on the Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner formalism. The vacuum contribution to the ph…
Spacetime-dependent electric field effects in vacuum and plasma using the Wigner-formalism
Haidar Al-Naseri, Jens Zamanian, Gert Brodin
We derive a system of coupled partial differential equations for the equal-time Wigner function in an arbitrary strong electromagnetic field using the Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner forma…
Kinetic theory for spin-1/2 particles in ultra-strong magnetic fields
Haidar Al-Naseri, Jens Zamanian, Robin Ekman +1
When the Zeeman energy approaches the characteristic kinetic energy of electrons, Landau quantization becomes important. In the vicinity of magnetars, the Zeeman energy can even be…
