Abstract

The contemporary research scrutinizes the resonant Breit-Wheeler process in the field of a plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave. Implementing the weak external field condition the processes of electron-positron pair production advances pre-eminently with participation of restrictively two field photons. Thus, within the resonant state the represented process effectively splits into two first-order processes with respect to the fine-structure constant. In details, the effect indicates the single photon pair production with consequent absorption of gamma quantum by an electron (positron) in the field of the wave. We analyze the resonance kinematics precisely. The study determines specific regions in which the interference of resonant amplitudes is absent. Additionally, the computation obtains a resonant differential cross section for the described areas. The corresponding resonant differential cross section significantly exceeds the correlating Breit-Wheeler cross-section without an external field. Various scientific facilities of pulsed laser radiation may experimentally verify the results of these calculations (SLAC, FAIR, XFEL, ELI, XCELS).
