Upcoming and planned experiments combining increasingly intense lasers and energetic
particle beams will access new regimes of nonlinear, relativistic, quantum effects. This …

High-energy spin-polarized electron, positron, and γ-photon beams have many significant
applications in the study of material properties, nuclear structure, particle physics, and high …

Using a covariant and angular-momentum-conserved chiral transport model, which takes
into account the spin-orbit interactions of chiral fermions in their scatterings via the side …

We investigate the phenomenon of electron-positron pair production from vacuum in the
presence of a strong electric field of circular polarization. By means of a nonperturbative …

We estimate the spacetime profile of the electric field in head-on heavy-ion collisions at
intermediate collision energies s NN= O (3–10 GeV). Using a hadronic cascade model …

A bstract We study the vacuum pair production by a time-dependent strong electric field
based on the exact WKB analysis. We identify the generic structure of a Stokes graph for …

In this paper we derive and discuss the completely spin-and photon-polarization-dependent
probability rates for nonlinear Compton scattering and nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair …

The effect of the pulse envelope on electron-positron pair creation in a circularly polarized
laser pulse is investigated. Interference on the length scale of the pulse envelope, and …

In previous work on Schwinger pair creation in purely time-dependent fields, it was shown
how to construct “solitonic” electric fields that do not create scalar pairs with an arbitrary fixed …

Electron-positron pair production is investigated in the multiphoton regime under polarized
fields. Partial wave analysis can be applied to reveal the momentum spectral structure and …
