N-photon amplitudes in a plane-wave background

We use the worldline formalism to derive master formulas for the one-loop N-photon amplitudes in a plane-wave background, for both scalar and spinor quantum electrodynamics. This generalises previous work by Ilderton and Torgrimsson for the vacuum polarisation case, although with some change in meth...
