A scenario for measuring the predicted processes of vacuum elastic and inelastic photon-photon scattering with modern lasers is investigated. Numbers of measurable scattered photons are calculated for the collision of two, Gaussian-focused, pulsed lasers. We show that a single 10PW optical laser beam split into two counter-propagating pulses is sufficient for measuring the elastic process. Moreover, when these pulses are sub-cycle, our results suggest the inelastic process should be measurable too.

  1. Coherent enhancement of QED cross-sections in electromagnetic backgrounds

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    This paper shows that replacing a photon with a classical laser field can coherently boost QED cross-sections and improve their energy scaling, for example sigma_1->1 ~ (omega/m)^4 versus sigma_2->2 ~ (omega/m)^6.
