By combining an adiabatic approach based on a `locally monochromatic' approximation with a local Hilbert transform, it is demonstrated how vacuum birefringence in the strong field regime can be calculated using a rate approach suitable for Monte Carlo simulation codes. Results for the flipping of the photon's polarisation (helicity) are benchmarked with evaluation of exact expressions in a circularly (linearly) polarised plane wave of finite extent. Example probabilities are given for typical experimental parameters.

  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.
