SFQEDtoolkit: a high-performance library for modeling strong-field QED effects in relativistic laboratory astrophysics — •Samuele Montefiori and Matteo Tamburini — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, D-69117 Heidelberg, Germany

Given the need of modeling strong-field QED (SFQED) processes such as high-energy photon emission and electron-positron pair creation in forthcoming relativistic laboratory experiments at ultrahigh fields, we have developed an open source library that allows the implementation of SFQED effects in existing Monte Carlo and Particle-In-Cell (PIC) codes. The SFQEDtoolkit library is primarily designed to simultaneously achieve high performance and high accuracy in modeling the functions that describe SFQED processes within and beyond the locally constant field approximation (LCFA).
