In extreme astrophysical environments such as neutron stars, pulsars and magnetars, magnetic fields can reach strengths as high as 1015 Gauss. Due to the fast rotation of the star, a very large electric field is associated with these strong magnetic fields which accelerates charged particles to energies from GeV to TeV and provides an excellent environment for so-called QED shower [1-2]....
Objects such as pulsars, magnetars and black holes all have sufficiently strong magnetic fields to reach the Schwinger limit in which strong field quantum electrodynamics (SF-QED) effects become important. Understanding the effects
of SF-QED on radiation and radiation reaction, the recoil force experienced by a particle as it radiates remains an important investigation in the field of high...
