Abstract: Collisions of ultrarelativistic electron beams are considered using full-scale 3D particle-in-cell simulation. In this process, the particles can be affected by the superintense fields of the counterpropagating beam, and the interaction can pass to the regime of nonperturbative quantum electrodynamics. In this experimentally unexplored regime, the emission of photons and the production of electron – positron pairs are extremely probable processes. It is shown that due to the transverse displacement of the beams and an increase in the number of particles located in the region of the field maximum, it is possible to increase the yield of both photons and electron – positron pairs.

Keywords: collider, ultrarelativistic case, photon emission, pair production, particle-in-cell simulation.
