Nonlinear QED Effects in Strong-Field Magnetohydrodynamics
We examine wave propagation and the formation of shocks in strongly magnetized plasmas by applying a variational technique and the method of characteristics to the coupled magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and quantum-electrodynamic (QED) equations of motion. In sufficiently strong magnetic fields such as those found near neutron stars, not only is the plasma extremely relativistic but the effects of Q...
متن کاملStrong Field, Noncommutative QED
We review the effects of strong background fields in noncommutative QED. Beginning with the noncommutative Maxwell and Dirac equations, we describe how combined noncommutative and strong field effects modify the propagation of fermions and photons. We extend these studies beyond the case of constant backgrounds by giving a new and revealing interpretation of the photon dispersion relation. Cons...
متن کاملLarge orders in strong-field QED
We address the issue of large-order expansions in strong-field QED. Our approach is based on the one-loop effective action encoded in the associated photon polarisation tensor. We concentrate on the simple case of crossed fields aiming at possible applications of high-power lasers to measure vacuum birefringence. A simple next-to-leading order derivative expansion reveals that the indices of re...
متن کاملHigher - Order Qed Effects and Nonlinear Qed
After a brief review of higher-order QED effects, a survey is made of novel aspects of QED with emphasis on recent experimental results in strong-field QED: nonlinear Compton scattering and multiphoton pair creation by light. 1 Higher-Order QED Effects Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) describes the interactions between charged particles that are mediated by quanta (photons) of the electromagnetic ...
متن کاملNonlinear spectroscopy in the strong-coupling regime of cavity QED
A nonlinear spectroscopic investigation of a strongly coupled atom-cavity system is presented. A two-field pump-probe experiment is employed to study nonlinear structure as the average number of intracavity atoms is varied from N̄'4.2 to N̄'0.8. Nonlinear effects are observed for as few as 0.1 intracavity pump photons. A detailed semiclassical simulation of the atomic beam experiment gives reason...
