Letter of Intent: Towards a Vacuum Birefringence Experiment at the Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields

N. Ahmadiniaz, C. Bähtz, A. Benediktovitch +49

Quantum field theory predicts a nonlinear response of the vacuum to strong electromagnetic fields of macroscopic extent. This fundamental tenet has remained experimentally challeng…

Direct accessibility of the fundamental constants governing light-by-light scattering

Felix Karbstein, Daniel Ullmann, Elena A. Mosman +1

Quantum field theory predicts the vacuum to exhibit a non-linear response to strong electromagnetic fields. This fundamental tenet has remained experimentally challenging and is ye…

Vacuum birefringence and diffraction at XFEL: from analytical estimates to optimal parameters

Elena A. Mosman, Felix Karbstein

We study vacuum birefringence and x-ray photon scattering in the head-on collision of x-ray free electron and high-intensity laser pulses. Resorting to analytical approximations fo…

Enhancing quantum vacuum signatures with tailored laser beams

Felix Karbstein, Elena A. Mosman

We demonstrate that tailored laser beams provide a powerful means to make quantum vacuum signatures in strong electromagnetic fields accessible in experiment. Typical scenarios aim…

X-ray photon scattering at a focused high-intensity laser pulse

Felix Karbstein, Elena A. Mosman

We study x-ray photon scattering in the head-on collision of an XFEL pulse and a focused high-intensity laser pulse, described as paraxial Laguerre-Gaussian beam of arbitrary mode…

Photon polarization tensor in circularly polarized Hermite- and Laguerre-Gaussian beams

Felix Karbstein, Elena A. Mosman

We derive analytical expressions for the photon polarization tensor in circularly polarized Hermite- and Laguerre-Gaussian beams, complementing the corresponding results for linear…
