Electron-Positron Pair Production in High-Intensity Electromagnetic Fields — •Christian Kohlfürst¹, Naser Ahmadiniaz¹, Johannes Oertel², and Ralf Schützhold^1,3 — ¹Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, 01328 Dresden, Germany — ²Universität Duisburg-Essen, 47057 Duisburg, Germany — ³Technische Universität Dresden, 01062 Dresden, Germany

In ultra-strong electric fields energy in terms of photons can be converted into electrons and positrons. We introduce a novel approach to calculate the mean particle number in collisions of short-pulsed laser fields. In this regard, we further discuss the different regimes of pair production in terms of their unique signatures in particle phase-space and relate our findings to currently ongoing experiments.
