Nonperturbative Bethe–Heitler pair creation in combined high- and low-frequency laser fields

The nonperturbative regime of electron–positron pair creation by a relativistic proton beam colliding with a highly intense bichromatic laser field is studied. The laser wave is composed of a strong low-frequency and a weak high-frequency mode, with mutually orthogonal polarization vectors. We show...
