Abstract

We discuss radiation physics in fields approaching the Schwinger field. Among the leading effects in such strong fields are: (1) lepton production; (2) radiation effects from highly accelerated electrons; and (3) radiation back-reaction. Once applied to multi-TeV electrons, the intense electromagnetic fields could produce radiating muons.
