The study explores the potential of studying vacuum birefringence at the Gamma Factory, assessing the parameter regime that can be reliably analyzed using the Heisenberg-Euler effective Lagrangian. It demonstrates that accurate theoretical study of quantum vacuum signatures can be conducted up to fairly large photon energies. The advantage lies in the possibility of studying the phenomenon in experimentally realistic, manifestly inhomogeneous pump and probe field configurations.
The perspectives of studying vacuum birefringence at the Gamma Factory are explored. To this end, the parameter regime which can be reliably analyzed resorting to the leading contribution to the Heisenberg-Euler effective Lagrangian is assessed in detail. It is explicitly shown that-contrary to naive expectations-this approach allows for the accurate theoretical study of quantum vacuum signatures up to fairly large photon energies. The big advantage of this parameter regime is the possibility of studying the phenomenon in experimentally realistic, manifestly inhomogeneous pump and probe field configurations. Thereafter, two specific scenarios giving rise to a vacuum birefringence effect for traversing gamma probe photons are analyzed. In the first scenario the birefringence phenomenon is induced by a quasi-constant static magnetic field. In the second case it is driven by a counter-propagating high-intensity laser field.
