The process of resonant high-energy electron–positron pair production by an ultrarelativistic electron colliding with the field of an X-ray pulsar is theoretically investigated. Resonant kinematics of the process is studied in detail. Under the resonance condition, the intermediate virtual photon in the X-ray pulsar field becomes a real particle. As a result, the initial process of the second order in the fine structure constant effectively reduces into two successive processes of the first order: X-ray-stimulated Compton effect and X-ray-stimulated Breit–Wheeler process. For a high-energy initial electron all the final ultrarelativistic particles propagate in a narrow cone along the direction of the initial electron momentum. The presence of threshold energy for the initial electron which is of order of 100 MeV for 1-KeV-frequency field is shown. At the same time, the energy spectrum of the final particles (two electrons and a positron) highly depends on their exit angles and on the initial electron energy. This result significantly distinguishes the resonant process from the non-resonant one. It is shown that the resonant differential probability significantly exceeds the non-resonant one.

Resonant Production

The resonant production of electron-positron pairs by a hard gamma-ray on nucleus in an external electromagnetic field is studied theoretically. The main property of this process is that the initial process of the second order in the fine structure constant in an external field effectively splits into two successive processes of the first order due to the fact that in resonant conditions intermediate virtual electron (positron) becomes a real particle. One of these processes is a single-photoproduction of electron-positron pair in a laser field (laser-stimulated Breit-Wheeler process) another is a laser-assisted scattering of electron (positron) on nucleus (laser-assisted Mott scattering). It is shown that the resonances are possible only for the energies of the initial hard gamma-ray more than the characteristic threshold energy. Resonant differential cross section of this process is obtained. It is shown that the resonant differential cross section can significantly exceed the corresponding cross section without an external field. The obtained results may be experimentally verified using the facilities of pulsed laser radiation (SLAC, FAIR, XFEL, ELI, XCELS).
