Ispirian Yerevan Physics Institute, Yerevan, Armenia e-mail: karo@lx2.yerphi.am A short review of the experiments on photon elastic scattering and splitting on Coulomb field of nuclei as well as on multiphoton Compton scattering and Breit-Wheeler pair production in strong electromagnetic field is given. Possible new QED nonlinear experiments are discussed. PACS: 12.20.Fv, 13.10.+q, 13.40.-f, 42.65.-k 1. INTRODUCTION QED processes are listed in Table 1 together with key references of theoretical and experimental works. For the first time the high energy process of scattering when the energies of the colliding photons in cms is larger than the electron mass has been studied in the first publication of A.I. Akhiezer [2]. As it is seen from his monographs and his last talks A.I. Akhiezer kept his first love to this and other QED nonlinear processes during all his life. That is why it has been found reasonable to include this very short review talk on the status of experiments in the program of this conference. The processes (1), (2) and (4) are theoretically studied for n = 1 (nω ≡ γ) only, while (7) for n >1 is only estimated. The study of many of these processes has begun after the invention of intense laser photon beams photon producing very strong electromagnetic fields. The field is strong if it is greater than the QED critical field Gauss cm V e cmF 13104.416103.1 32 0 ⋅=⋅==  . Two invariants characterize the rate of these processes: 2/122     == α λ ω η ω ern mc Fe and ( ) 0 2 F F mc or γεε =Υ . In this expressions F is rms electric (E) or magnetic (H) field, ω, λ and nω are the photon frequency, wavelength and density, re is the electron classical radius, α = 1/137, ε and εγ are the electron and gamma quanta energy. Using laser intensity I in W/cm2 one can write η = 7.5.10-10 I1/2(W/cm2)/ћω(eV), E(V/cm) = 19.4 I1/2(W/cm2), nω(cm-3) = 2.108 I(W/cm2)/ђω(eV). The nonlinear effects are essential when the values of these invariants are of the order or greater than 1. For instance, if ђω = 1.17 eV, I = 0.5.1018 W/cm2, ε = 50 GeV then η = 0.4, Υ=0.25. Table 1.

The elastic scattering of photons on photons (1) is observed only with the help of virtual photons in e+e- collisions and it is not observed with real photons. There is a hope that the processes (7), (9) and (10) can be observed if the achieved laser PROBLEMS OF ATOMIC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. 2001, № 6, p. 19-24. 19 intensities will be increased by one order. The processes (3) and (8) can proceed only in cosmological objects and no in terrestrial experiments in the near future. We do not include the W-boson photoproduction γe→Wν [32] and pair production in laser beam collisions (nω)+(mω) → e+ e- [33] processes into the Table 1, because they are rather elementary particle and low energy problems. We shall not also consider such development of the theory as the peculiarities of the nonlinear QED processes in single crystals [34,35] as well as some polarization effects in (1) and (6) [36] which increase the corresponding cross sections. 2. NOVOSIBIRSK EXPERIMENTS ON DELBRUCK SCATTERING (DS) AND PHOTON SPLITTING (PS) In the work [13] results have been obtained for elastic scattering of photons with εγ = (1-7.3) GeV on nuclei Cu, Ag, Au and U under angles θ = (1-3) mrad in good agreement with the theory [10] taking into account the Coulomb corrections. The authors [13] also declared that as by product they have made the first observation of the splitting of photons (3) at the same energies. However, as it has been shown in [37] in the experiment [13] the process γZ → e+ e- γ and not photon splitting was observed. Fig. 1.

The points and histogram are the experimental and Monte Carlo results calorimeter, new experimental study of (2) and first observation of (3) have been made by a BINP group [13] and [16], respectively. The experimental arrangement shown in Fig. 1 had the following main parameters: The tagged photons had energy ω = (120- 450) MeV, Δω/ω ≈ 0.013; the thickness of the active collimator, target and dump BGO were 13.3, 1 and 10 r.l. The LKr calorimeter allowed to measure the energy of scattered or splitted photons with σ≈2.4%/[ε(GeV)]1/2 and space resolution equal to (1-2.3) mm. Table 2.

The decomposition of the events is given in Table 2. The experimental and the corresponding theoretical data on DS and PS are shown in Fig. 2 and 3 (For PS only a part of data is processed). As it is seen there is a satisfactory agreement between them. Thus, the application of fine experimental methods allowed observing PS. However, as in the case of multiply confirmed DS the results on PS need new measurements. 3. EXPERIMENTS ON NONLINEAR COMPTON AND INELASTIC LIGHT BY LIGHT SCATTERING Many proposals have been published (see [38]). The experiments (Collaboration Princeton-Rochester-SLAC- Tennessee) have been caried out using the SLAC FFTB with ε = 46.6 GeV and a Nd: glass T3 laser providing η = 0.4 and 0.32 at λ = 1053 (IR) and 527 nm (green) or Υ = 0.26 and E*max= 5.1015 V/cm in the electron rest frame. a) Methods of measurements 1) In the case of Compton scattering (5) together with the usual method of measuring the spectra of the scattered photons with the help of pair spectrometer the authors obtained better results detecting the recoil electrons the calculated spectra of which are shown in Fig. 4 for 5.109 electrons at η = 0.6. This is because there are ~106 scattered photons per pulse for n=1 in (5), while the number of low energy scattered electrons for n>1 is very small. The minimal energy of the scattered electrons is given by ( ) ( ) 2* ' min 1 cos121 , mn n α εηε ++ = where m* = m (1 + η2)1/2 is the electron effective mass, α = 170 is the crossing angle. The main background comes from the plural Compton scattering, (n ω)+e → e’ + (mω) (n>m, see Fig. 4), which is estimated by the pseudo photon method. 2) In the case of Breit-Wheeler process (6) the minimal number of the laser photons is given by ( ) ( ) ( )αβω ε ηηε γ γ cos1 12, 242 min + +=  cmn . b) The experimental arrangement shown in Fig. 6 had the following parameters: 1) The laser beam had frequency f = 0.5 Hz, intensity after focusing on an area A=2πσxσy = 30 μ2, length τ = 1.5 ps (FWHM), maximal Fig. 4. Calculated spectra of scattered electrons Fig. 5. The calculated energy spectra of positrons for various n When in Compton scattering (5) n=1, then for εγ = 29.1 GeV no e+ e- pair can be produced (6) for n=1. If ε = 46.6 GeV, ђω = 2.34 eV and η = 0, then nmin = 5. In this experiment n = 4 also can give contribution due to η ≠ 0 and n=2 in (5). The calculated energy spectra of positrons produced in the collision of 30 GeV electron and 2.34 eV laser photon beams are shown in Fig. 5. Therefore the detection of ~10-3 positrons per pulse is the adopted method in this experiment. I = 1016 – 1018 W/cm2 providing η= 0.1-0.35. 2) The electron beam had f = 30 Hz, τ = 3.6 ps, σx =30 μ, σy =40 μ, σz = 1 mm and emitance εx = 3.1010 m⋅rad, εy = 3.10-11 m⋅rad. 3) The scattered electrons and positrons after a 6 magnet spectrometer were detected by Si (300 μ) and W (1 rl) sandwich calorimeters ECAL and PCAL having 1.6X1.6 cm2 pads and sufficient energy resolution. 4) The energy of forward photons was measured by the calorimeter CCAL or sometimes by pair spectrometer with sufficient resolution. c) Some experimental results 1) Multiphoton Compton Scattering. The dependences of the differential scattered electron yield normalized over incident photon number upon electron momentum and IR laser intensity are shown in Figs. 7 and 8, respectively. 21 In Fig. 7 the solid circles and open boxes are for measured and simulated results on multiple Compton scattering. The dashed curve is the simulation for n=m plural scattering. In Fig. 8 the experimental results (points with errors) at various momenta and n are compared with the simulation results (shadowed bands) and errors mainly due to 30% uncertainty of the laser intensity. There is a good agreement with the expected behavior ~η2(n-1) ~ In-1. Fig. 6. The experimental set-up Fig. 7. The spectra of the scattered electrons Fig. 8. The dependence of the scattered electron yield on laser intensity Fig. 9. The spectra of detected positrons Fig. 10. The dependence of the positron yield on η 2) Pair production in strong fields. The detected positron spectra without and with laser and the simulated one are shown in Fig. 9, while the dependence of the positron yield on η is given in Fig. 10. As it is seen the detected positron spectra are in agreement with the simulations, while the observed yield is ~ η2n min with nmin = 5.1 ± 0.2 ± 0.5/0.8 where the first and second errors are the statistic and systematic errors mainly due to the η measurement. These shortly described Novosibirsk and SLAC experiments showed how difficult will be the advance in this direction. 22 4. NEXT GENERATION QED NONLINEAR EFFECT EXPERIMENTS After closing LEP2 for which there was a project [39] the following nonstudied experiments can be performed on future 250 – 2000 GeV linear e+ e- colliders such as TESLA [40]. a) Elastic and Inelastic Light Scaattering by Light As it has been shown still in 1963 [5] considering xperiments on the reactions (1) and (6) for n ≥1 with similar kinematics one must take into account that 1) for (1) the cross section has maximum when the photon energy in cms (ωεγ)1/2 ≈ mc2 , 2) the minimal scattering angle must be larger than the collimation angles of the high energy photon and 3) the cross section integrated from this minimal angle is ~ω3sc/εγ. One can consider three options of photon-photon collisions on TESLA at 250 GeV (see the schemes of Fig. 11). For parameters of the laser beams used in [22] and the expected electron, secondary SASE x-ray and γ-beams [40] the estimated rates of the detected events of the reaction (1) is one per 10 – 104 laser pulses. b) Unruh Effect (Radiation) According to the Unruh Effect (see the review [29]) any particle moving with a acceleration g’ in its ‘instantaneous rest frame finds itself in a bath of black body radiation with a temperature g ck T ′= π2  , which is similar to the Hawking formula with k being the Boltzman constant. Of many proposed tests of this effect we remind only the high energy radiation experiment (see [29]. Using Plank’s formula and considering Compton scattering of the both photons on high energy electrons one can show that the produced Unruh radiation, which is ~ g′4, will exceed the usual Larmor radiation, which is ~g′2 , when g′ > g′crit = 3.1033 cm/s2. If such a g’ is achieved by E, then it must be one order of magnitude beyond the QED critical E0 = 1.3. 106 V/cm. Since relativistic particles “feels” the external fields enhanced γ times the Unruh effect can be observed having such fields or the field of single crystal in case of channeling and using electrons with energies higher than 200 GeV. It is necessary to separate the Unruh radiation from the other usual “Larmor type” synchrotron or channeling radiation. c) Field induced variation of index of refraction and vacuum Cherenkov radiation For magmetic fields with F<<F0 and perpendicular to the photon propagation direction the index of refraction of vacuum varies as ( ) ( ) ( )       +    += χ χπχ π αω 2 1 2 0 TiN F Fn where χ =(ħω/mc2)(F/F0). The functions N(χ) and T(χ) are calculated in [30]. Neglecting the imaginary part, one can show that the threshold value of a circularly polarized field when an electron with Lorenz factor γ begins to produce vacuum Cherenkov radiation is given by 00 2/1 7.291 22 451 EEEthr γα π γ =    = . For a 250 GeV electron Ethr ≈ 8.1011 V/cm or I ≈ 8⋅1021 W/cm2 (in more detail see [38]). Thus, even without considering the fine physics of the processes (1)-(10) one can be sure that the future technology and methods will allow to decrease the regions “not observed’ in Table 1.
