Furry picture transition rates in the intense fields at a lepton collider interaction point

The effect on particle physics processes by intense electromagnetic fields in the charge bunch collisions at future lepton colliders is considered. Since the charge bunch fields are tied to massive sources (the e+e− charges), a reference frame is chosen in which the fields appear to be co-propagatin...
