Spin and polarization effects on the nonlinear Breit–Wheeler pair production in laser-plasma interaction

The spin effect of electrons/positrons ( e ^− / e ^+ ) and polarization effect of γ photons are investigated in the interaction of two counter-propagating linearly polarized laser pulses of peak intensity 8.9 × 10 ^23 W cm ^−2 with a thin foil target. The processes of nonlinear Compton scattering an...
