Quantum electrodynamics resonances in a pulsed laser field

This review contains theoretical study of resonant quantum electrodynamics processes in a pulsed laser field. The approximation is examined when the pulse width is considerably greater than the characteristic time of wave oscillations. The lepton's interaction with the Coulomb potential of a nucleus and each other is considered in the Born approximation. It is demonstrated that the resonant differential cross section of a process in a pulsed light fields may considerably exceed 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.
