The presence of strong electromagnetic fields adds huge complexity to QED Feynman diagrams, such that new methods are required to calculate higher-loop and higher-multiplicity scattering amplitudes. Here we use the worldline formalism to present `Master Formulae' for all tree level amplitudes of two massive particles and an arbitrary number of photons, in a plane wave background, in both scalar and spinor QED. The plane wave is treated without approximation throughout, meaning in particular that our formulae are valid in the strong-field regime of current theoretical and experimental interest. We check our results against literature expressions obtainable at low multiplicity via direct Feynman diagram calculations.

  1. Worldline Modeling of Ultra-Intense Lasers for N-photon Scattering Processes

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    Compact worldline 'master formulae' for arbitrary-N photon scattering in strong-field backgrounds are presented, but the derivations are largely deferred to the authors' own prior and companion papers.
