On Measuring Stimulated Photon-photon Scattering using Multiple Ultraintense Lasers
Hans G. Rinderknecht, E. Dill, A. J. MacLeod +8
Stimulated photon-photon scattering is a predicted consequence of quantum electrodynamics that has yet to be measured directly. Measuring the cross-section for stimulated photon-ph…
Input to the ESPPU: The LUXE Experiment
H. Abramowicz, M. Almanza Soto, M. Altarelli +130
This document presents an overview of LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an experiment that will combine the high-quality and high-energy electron beam of the European XFEL with a h…
Bounding elastic photon-photon scattering at MeV using a laser-plasma platform
R. Watt, B. Kettle, E. Gerstmayr +36
We report on a direct search for elastic photon-photon scattering using x-ray and photons from a laser-plasma based experiment. A gamma photon beam produced by a laser wakefie…
Coherent enhancement of QED cross-sections in electromagnetic backgrounds
T. Heinzl, B. King, D. Liu
We introduce form factors that relate the amplitude of a QED process in vacuum to its corresponding background-field process. The latter is characterised by a reduced S-matrix elem…
