Abstract

The analytical calculation of the electron-positron pair creation yield by an extremely strong focused laser pulse in the vacuum is presented. In particular, dependence of the total yield of the pair production on the focusing parameter and the polarization properties of the laser pulse are analyzed. Comparison with the previous consideration of N.B. Narozhny, V.S. Popov, V.D. Mur, and S.S. Bulanov is given and discussed. As a result, we confirm their conclusion that the electron-positron pair production can be observed in principle at the level of intensity of 1027 W/cm2.
