Photon-polarization-resolved linear Breit-Wheeler pair production in a laser-plasma system

2024 · arXiv (Cornell University)

The linear Breit-Wheeler (LBW) process, mediated by photon-photon collisions, can emerge as the dominant pair production mechanism in the ultraintense laser-plasma interaction for laser intensities below $10^{23}~\rm W/cm^2$. Here, we explore the role of photon …
