Input to the European Strategy for Particle Physics: Strong-Field Quantum Electrodynamics
G. Sarri, B. King, T. Blackburn +21
This document sets out the intention of the strong-field QED community to carry out, both experimentally and numerically, high-statistics parametric studies of quantum electrodynam…
Efficient High-Energy Photon Production in the Supercritical QED Regime
Matteo Tamburini, Sebastian Meuren
When dense high-energy lepton bunches collide, the beam particles can experience rest-frame electromagnetic fields which greatly exceed the QED critical one. Here it is demonstrate…
Improved local-constant-field approximation for strong-field QED codes
A. Di Piazza, M. Tamburini, S. Meuren +1
The local-constant-field approximation (LCFA) is an essential theoretical tool for investigating strong-field QED phenomena in background electromagnetic fields with complex spacet…
High-Energy Vacuum Birefringence and Dichroism in an Ultrastrong Laser Field
Sergey Bragin, Sebastian Meuren, Christoph H. Keitel +1
A long-standing prediction of quantum electrodynamics, yet to be experimentally observed, is the interaction between real photons in vacuum. As a consequence of this interaction, t…
Minicharged particles search by strong laser pulse-induced vacuum polarization effects
Selym Villalba-Chávez, Sebastian Meuren, Carsten Müller
Laser-based searches of the yet unobserved vacuum birefringence might be sensitive for very light hypothetical particles carrying a tiny fraction of the electron charge. We show th…
Nonlinear neutrino-photon interactions inside strong laser pulses
Sebastian Meuren, Christoph H. Keitel, Antonino Di Piazza
Even though neutrinos are neutral particles and interact only via the exchange of weak gauge bosons, charged leptons and quarks can mediate a coupling to the photon field beyond tr…
Semiclassical picture for electron-positron photoproduction in strong laser fields
Sebastian Meuren, Christoph H. Keitel, Antonino Di Piazza
The nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process is studied in the presence of strong and short laser pulses. We show that for a relativistically intense plane-wave laser field many features of…
High-Energy Recollision Processes of Laser-Generated Electron-Positron Pairs
Sebastian Meuren, Karen Z. Hatsagortsyan, Christoph H. Keitel +1
Two oppositely charged particles created within a microscopic space-time region can be separated, accelerated over a much larger distance, and brought to a recollision by a laser f…
Polarization operator approach to pair creation in short laser pulses
Sebastian Meuren, Karen Z. Hatsagortsyan, Christoph H. Keitel +1
Short-pulse effects are investigated for the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process, i.e. the production of an electron-positron pair induced by a gamma photon inside an intense plane-wav…
Polarization operator for plane-wave background fields
S. Meuren, C. H. Keitel, A. Di Piazza
We derive an alternative representation of the leading-order contribution to the polarization operator in strong-field quantum electrodynamics with a plane-wave electromagnetic bac…
