Description
The structure of the electromagnetic field plays a crucial role in laser-electron collision for observing the QED effects. We show that electron collision with a radially polarized laser beam in the λ^3 configuration based on 10 PW-class lasers presents a viable platform for reaching the range of parameters where a perturbative QED in a strong external electromagnetic field breaks and is also suitable for the generation of a QED cascade.
