The largely unexplored strong-field QED regime in high-field science could be probed using high-energy particle beams and high-intensity lasers. Here the authors propose a concept to probe strong-field QED by harnessing the interaction between an ultrarelativistic electron beam and a solid and whose setup is based on the collision between the high-density beam and the self-fields reflected at the plasma boundary.
