Wave Packet Evolution of Highly Relativistic Electrons — •D. Stiff, G. R. Mocken, and C. H. Keitel — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69117 Heidelberg
We present the results of a numerical study of highly relativistic electrons with initial γ factors ranging from 2 to 100 in the presence of intense fields. Using both 2 and 3 dimensional models, we investigate the evolution of several properties, such as the shape of the wave packet and the mixture of positive and negative energy states, to look for differences that may be attributed to the reduced dimensionality of the 2D model. The strength of electric field and magnetic field studied range from 0 to 1020 V/m and 0 to 108 T respectively.
