abstract

In this paper we derive and discuss the completely spin- and photon-polarisation dependent probability rates for nonlinear Compton scattering and nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair production. The locally constant field approximation, which is essential for applications in plasma-QED simulation codes, is rigorously derived from the strong-field QED matrix elements in the Furry picture for a general plane-wave background field. We discuss important polarisation correlation effects in the spectra of both processes. Asymptotic limits for both small and large values of $\chi$ are derived and their spin/polarisation dependence is discussed.

  1. Impact of background field localization on vacuum polarization effects

    hep-ph 2024-11 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    For Lorentzian background fields with d localized directions, the strong-field scaling of QED vacuum polarization and pair production depends on d, while weak-field scaling does not.
