In this study, the nonlinear signature of x-ray vacuum diffraction in the head-on collision of optical high-intensity and x-ray free-electron laser pulses was investigated with finite spatiotemporal offsets between the laser foci. It was found that the angular distribution of the signal in the far-field is sensitive to the wavefront curvature of the probe beam, indicating the potential for improved signal-to-background separation in vacuum birefringence experiments. The pump and probe fields were modeled as pulsed paraxial Gaussian beams, allowing for a reanalysis of the effect from first principles.
We study the nonlinear QED signature of x-ray vacuum diffraction in the head-on collision of optical high-intensity and x-ray free-electron laser pulses at finite spatiotemporal offsets between the laser foci. The high-intensity laser driven scattering of signal photons outside the forward cone of the x-ray probe constitutes a prospective experimental signature of quantum vacuum nonlinearity. Resorting to a simplified phenomenological ad hoc model, it was recently argued that the angular distribution of the signal in the far-field is sensitive to the wavefront curvature of the probe beam in the interaction region with the highintensity pump. In this work, we model both the pump and probe fields as pulsed paraxial Gaussian beams and reanalyze this effect from first principles. We focus on vacuum diffraction both as an individual signature of quantum vacuum nonlinearity and as a potential means to improve the signal-to-background separation in vacuum birefringence experiments.
