Plasma dynamics at the Schwinger limit and beyond

G Brodin, H Al-Naseri, J Zamanian, G Torgrimsson… - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Strong field physics close to or above the Schwinger limit are typically studied with vacuum

Using the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process to test nonlinear vacuum birefringence

O Borysov, B Heinemann, A Ilderton, B King… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Quantum electrodynamics predicts that the quantum vacuum is birefringent, but due to the
very small cross-section this is yet to be confirmed by experiment. Vacuum birefringence …
