SUMMARY:Intensity effects in the standard model and beyond - Dr Anton Ilde
 rton (Trinity College Dublin)
DTSTART:20091015T150000Z
DTEND:20091015T160000Z
UID:TALK19601@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Steve Chun Hay Kom
DESCRIPTION:High intensity laser facilities such as Vulcan and ELI will so
 on allow us access to nonlinear vacuum phenomena in QED\, including nonlin
 ear Compton scattering and\, perhaps\, Schwinger pair production.  I will 
 review the basic lepton-photon scattering amplitudes in the presence of a 
 strong background (laser) field\, and discuss the phenomenology of the imp
 lied electron mass shift.  Finally\, taking noncommutativity of spacetime 
 as a source of physics beyond the standard model\, I will discuss the cons
 equences of combined noncommutative\, strong field effects for pair produc
 tion.
