A single-laser scheme for observation of linear Breit–Wheeler electron–positron pair creation
We show that a single laser pulse, traveling through a dense plasma, produces a population of MeV photons of sufficient density to generate a large number of electron–positron pairs via the linear Breit–Wheeler process. While it may be expected that the photons are emitted predominantly in the forwa...
