Signatures of photon-photon scattering in Hermite-Gaussian beams — •Ricardo R.Q.P.T. Oude Weernink1,2 and Felix Karbstein1,21Helmholtz-Institut Jena, 07743 Jena, Germany — 2Theoretisch-Physikalisches Institut, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, 07743 Jena, Germany

Quantum electrodynamics predicts effective nonlinear interactions between electromagnetic fields mediated by quantum vacuum fluctuations, a prominent example being photon-photon scattering. Measuring this process directly in an experiment is a difficult endeavour and has yet to be achieved. One of the toughest challenges for any experimental approach is to find scenarios allowing for a clear signal-to-background separation.

In this talk we present the following set-up: We focus on the geometrically simple scenario of two counter-propagating high-intensity laser beams, though allow them to be prepared in arbitrary Hermite-Gaussian modes or superpositions thereof. We are mainly interested in ways to enhance the discernible signal, but also study the behaviour of the signal photon number for non-optimal collisions with finite impact parameter.
