1205.3880 (A. I. Titov et al.)

Enhanced subthreshold electron-positron production in short laser pulses    [PDF]

A. I. Titov, H. Takabe, B. Kampfer, A. Hosaka
The emission of electron-positron pairs off a probe photon propagating through a polarized short-pulsed electromagnetic (e.g.\ laser) wave field is analyzed. A significant increase of the total cross section of pair production in the subthreshold region is found for decreasing laser pulse duration even in case of moderate laser pulse intensities.
