Description
Electron-positron pair production by an incident high-energy photon or a relativistic proton colliding with an intense laser field is considered. Our focus lies on the role played by the electron spin degree of freedom. A comparative study between production of Dirac versus Klein-Gordon pairs is performed [1,2] and a helicity analysis is carried out [3].
