Description

A solution is found for the vector-particle equation with Yang-Mills coupling to an electromagnetic plane-wave potential. The local gauge and Poincare transformation structure of such generalized Volkov solutions of single-particle equation (spin < or =1) leads to a decoupling theorem for the scattering of a system of particles immersed in an external plane wave
