Classical and quantum particle dynamics in univariate background fields
Thomas Heinzl, Anton Ilderton, Ben King
We investigate deviations from the plane wave model in the interaction of charged particles with strong electromagnetic fields. A general result is that integrability of the dynami…

Very Special Relativity as a background field theory
Anton Ilderton
We consider violation of Lorentz invariance in QED induced by a very high frequency background wave. An effective theory is obtained by averaging observables over the rapid field o…

The worldline approach to helicity flip in plane waves
Anton Ilderton, Greger Torgrimsson
We apply worldline methods to the study of vacuum polarisation effects in plane wave backgrounds, in both scalar and spinor QED. We calculate helicity-flip probabilities to one loo…
