Abstract:In the presence of an electromagnetic background plane-wave field, electron, positron, and photon states are not stable, because electrons and positrons emit photons and photons decay into electronpositron pairs. This decay of the particle states leads to an exponential damping term in the probabilities of single nonlinear Compton scattering and nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair production.In this paper we investigate analytically and numerically the probabilities of nonlinear Compton scattering and nonlinear Breit… Show more
