“…The production probability exactly at the threshold always vanishes, which is a pure final particle phase space effect. This is different in QED 2+1 , where the pair production rate at the threshold can be non-zero for even multi-photons channels, but not for odd ones [251].…”

“…Several studies have investigated the prospects of using Bremsstrahlung γ-rays for an experimental observation of NBW pair production providing scaling laws for the expected positron yield [249,250,62]. The NBW pair production rates in a plane wave background have also been calculated in QED 2+1 [251]. The reduced dimensionality manifests itself in a different χ dependence of the rate at ξ 1, which scales ∼ αχe −8/3χ for χ 1, and ∼ αχ 1/3 for χ 1.…”

Upcoming and planned experiments combining increasingly intense lasers and energetic particle beams will access new regimes of nonlinear, relativistic, quantum effects. This improved experimental capability has driven substantial progress in QED in intense background fields. We review here the advances made during the last decade, with a focus on theory and phenomenology. As ever higher intensities are reached, it becomes necessary to consider processes at higher orders in both the number of scattered particles and the number of loops, and to account for non-perturbative physics (e.g. the Schwinger effect), with extreme intensities requiring resummation of the loop expansion. In addition to increased intensity, experiments will reach higher accuracy, and these improvements are being matched by developments in theory such as in approximation frameworks, the description of finite-size effects, and the range of physical phenomena analysed. Topics on which there has been substantial progress include: radiation reaction, spin and polarisation, nonlinear quantum vacuum effects and connections to other fields including physics beyond the Standard Model.
