“…More recently, Higgs production from laser-assisted lepton-lepton collisions has been studied [969], the idea being to use laser fields to give an additional boost to the colliding particles, i.e. to raise their energies, giving better access to Higgs physics [970].…”

Upcoming and planned experiments combining increasingly intense lasers and energetic particle beams will access new regimes of nonlinear, relativistic, quantum effects. This improved experimental capability has driven substantial progress in QED in intense background fields. We review here the advances made during the last decade, with a focus on theory and phenomenology. As ever higher intensities are reached, it becomes necessary to consider processes at higher orders in both the number of scattered particles and the number of loops, and to account for non-perturbative physics (e.g. the Schwinger effect), with extreme intensities requiring resummation of the loop expansion. In addition to increased intensity, experiments will reach higher accuracy, and these improvements are being matched by developments in theory such as in approximation frameworks, the description of finite-size effects, and the range of physical phenomena analysed. Topics on which there has been substantial progress include: radiation reaction, spin and polarisation, nonlinear quantum vacuum effects and connections to other fields including physics beyond the Standard Model.

“…In this context, it is very motivating to study the processes of Higgs production and decay in the presence of strong laser fields. In 2014, Sarah Muller et al [11,12] conducted pioneering research on Higgs boson production and various particle physics processes in lepton collisions boosted by a laser field. Recently, another group of authors has also studied different physical processes in the SM and beyond [13][14][15][16][17], including charged Higgs boson production [18][19][20].…”

In this paper, we investigate the charged Higgs boson decay in the context of the type-II two-Higgs-doublet model in the presence of a circularly polarized electromagnetic field of laser radiation. The calculations are performed by adopting the Furry picture approach of non-perturbative interactions with the external electromagnetic field. Using the method of exact solutions for charged particles states in the presence of a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave field and evaluating the S-matrix elements, an exact analytic expression is derived for the decay width of leptonic, hadronic and bosonic decay modes. The branching ratios of different decay modes with multiple photon emission and absorption from the laser beam are analyzed and found to be dramatically modified in the region of superstrong fields. The dependencies of the decay width on the laser field strength and frequency are also examined. The results obtained may be interesting for future experimental and theoretical investigations.

“…In recent years and due to the great technological advances [4], there exist powerful laser sources where the electrons and positrons can acquire high kinetic energies which lies far beyond the typical atomic energy scale. Therefore, such high energies can be exploited to induce heavy elementary particle reactions such as Higgsstrahlung production [5,6], charged Higgs pair production [7], neutral Higgs pair production [8], and heavy lepton-pair [9,10] or hadron production in e + e − colliders. In addition, lasers can be utilized to generate well-controlled particle interactions at microscopically small impact parameters, which can lead to high luminosity.…”

In this paper, we have investigated the elementary particle reaction e + e − → µ + µ − that results from the electron-positron interaction, at the leading order, with an intense laser wave of circular polarization. We have derived, by analytical means, the laserassisted differential cross section expression by using the scattering matrix approach. We have analyzed the energy and the number of exchanged photons dependence of muon pair production in electron-positron annihilation at different centre of mass energies including the Z-boson peak. For this reason, a wide range of high centre of mass energies relevant to future e + e − collider were covered to study the cross section behavior. We have found that, for a given number of exchanged photons, laser field strength and frequency, the circularly polarized laser field decreases the total cross section by several orders of magnitudes.
