In the present work, we demonstrate that structured light beams are constituted by two traveling waves which transverse components are in opposite directions, that is, incoming and outgoing from the axis of propagation. These waves result…

One of the reasons for the tremendous success of a plane-wave approximation in particle physics is that the non-paraxial corrections to such observables as energy, magnetic moment, scattering cross section, and so on are attenuated as…
