M.V. Kozyulin, Z.K. Silagadze
TL;DR
This paper explores how light bending caused by a Coulomb field, influenced by non-linear quantum electrodynamics, serves as an educational analogy for the Aichelburg-Sexl ultraboost concept in relativistic physics.
Contribution
It introduces a pedagogical analogy linking non-linear QED light deflection with the Aichelburg-Sexl ultraboost, enhancing understanding of relativistic effects.
Findings
Demonstrates light bending due to non-linear QED effects.
Provides an educational analogy for ultraboost concepts.
Connects quantum electrodynamics with relativistic physics.
Abstract
We use light deflection by a Coulomb field, due to non-linear quantum electrodynamics effects, as an opportunity for a pedagogical discussion of the electrodynamical analog of the Aichelburg-Sexl ultraboost.
