Resonant and polarization effects in the processes of quantum electrodynamics in a strong magnetic field

The monograph considers resonance and polarization effects in quantum electrodynamics processes that take place in a strong external magnetic field. A method for analyzing spin-polarization effects has been developed. The factorization of process cross sections in resonant conditions and the representation of these cross sections in the form of Breit-Wigner are considered. The possibility of testing these effects in modern international projects to test quantum electrodynamics in strong fields is shown.

Vortex structures and electron beam dynamics in magnetized plasma

The formation of vortex structures at reflection of electron beam from the double layer of the Jupiter ionosphere is investigated in this paper. And also the influence of these vortex structures on the formation of dense upward electron fluxes, accelerated by the double layer potential along the Io flux tube is studied. Then a phase transition to the cyclotron superradiance mode becomes possible for these electrons. The conditions of the vortex perturbations formation are considered. The nonlinear equation is found that describes the vortex dynamics of electrons and its consequences are studied.

A cascade of $e^-e^+$ pair production by a photon with subsequent annihilation to a single photon in a strong magnetic field

The process of electron-positron pair production by a photon with subsequent annihilation to a single photon in a strong magnetic field has been studied. The general amplitude has been calculated and the process rate have been found in the low Landau levels approximation (resonant and nonresonant cases). The comparison of resonant and nonresonant cases shows a significant excess of the resonant rate. The polarization of the final photon in a strong magnetic field has also been found. It has been shown that polarizations of the initial and the final photons are independent except for the case of normal linear polarization of the initial photon.

Resonant Generation of an Electron-Positron Pair by Two Photons to Excited Landau Levels

We consider the resonant generation of an electron-positron pair by two polarized photons to arbitrarily low Landau levels. The resonance occurs when the energy of one photon exceeds the one-photon generation threshold, and the energy of the other photon is multiple to the spacing between the levels. The cross section of the process is determined taking into account the spins of particles. The order of magnitude of the cross section is the highest when the magnetic moments of the particles are oriented along the magnetic field.

Pair production in a magnetic and radiation field in a pulsar magnetosphere

In the present work one- and two-photon pair production in a subcritical magnetic field have been considered. Two-photon production has been studied in the resonant case, when the cross section considerably increases compared to the nonresonant case. While one-photon pair production is considered to be the main mechanism of plasma generation in a pulsar magnetosphere, we suggest the existence of another one, which is resonant two-photon production process.

Electron-positron pair production by an electron in a magnetic field in the resonant case

Resonant e+e- pair production by an electron in a magnetic field near the process threshold has been analytically studied. Using the Nikishov's theorem an estimation of the number of events has been made in the magnetic field equivalent to laser wave in the SLAC experiment [D.Burke et.al. Phys. Rev. Lett.79, 1626 (1997)]. The obtained estimation is in reasonable agreement with the experimental data.

Polarization effects in the photon-induced process of electron-positron pair creation in a magnetic field, studied in the ultra-quantum-mechanical approximation

The photon-induced process of electron-positron pair creation in a strong homogeneous magnetic field, provided that the polarization of particles is arbitrary, has been considered. The polarization of a photon is described in terms of the well-known Stokes parameters, and the relevant probabilities of the process turn out to have simple analytical expressions, which allows us to analyze the polarization and spin effects. A substantial influence of the linear polarization of a photon on the spin orientations of electrons and positrons has been demonstrated.

Spin-polarization effects in the processes of synchrotron radiation and electron-positron pair production by a photon in a magnetic field

Spin and polarization effects and correlations between them in the processes of pair production by a photon and synchrotron radiation in a magnetic field are considered. Expressions for the probabilities of the processes with arbitrary polarizations of the particles are obtained. These expressions are analyzed in detail in both the lowest Landau levels and ultrarelativistic approximations.
