Nonresonant quantum electrodynamics processes in a pulsed laser field

This review contains theoretical study of nonresonant quantum electrodynamics processes of the first and second orders in the fine-structure constant in a pulsed laser field. The approximation is examined when the pulse width is considerably greater than the characteristic time of wave oscillations. It was demonstrated that for nonrelativistic particle energy the differential cross section of a process in a pulsed light fields may considerably difference from the corresponding cross section in an absence of a laser field. Results obtained may be experimentally verified by the scientific facilities at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, Darmstadt, Germany) project.
