Abstract

While the QED photon amplitudes at full momentum so far have been calculated only up to the six-photon level, in the low-energy limit there are explicit formulas for all helicity components even at the N-photon level, obtained by Martin et al. in 2002. Here we use the worldline formalism to extend that result to the N-photon amplitudes in a generic constant field. For both scalar and spinor QED, we obtain compact representations for the low-energy limits of these amplitudes involving only simple algebra and a single global proper-time integral with trigonometric integrand.
