Electroweak Processes in Laser-Boosted Lepton Collisions — •Sarah J. Müller, Carsten Müller, and Christoph H. Keitel — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69117 Heidelberg

The advent of powerful laser facilities such as the ltra-high field project of ELI opens new prospect in many physics applications, in particular in high-energy physics. We study the possibility of utilizing strong laser fields for enhancing the center-of-mass energy of lepton collisions. It is shown that an addditional laser post-acceleration of relativistic lepton beams provided by conventional particle accelerators can in principle lead to higher collision energies in e.g. electronpositron colliders. We investigate this with theoretical means and find that laser post-acceleration might become an interesting complement to the existing methods in high-energy physics.
