Laser absorption via QED cascades in counter propagating laser pulses

Thomas Grismayer, Marija Vranic, Joana L. Martins +2

A model for laser light absorption in electron-positron plasmas self-consistently created via QED cascades is described. The laser energy is mainly absorbed due to hard photon emis…

Seeded QED cascades in counter propagating laser pulses

Thomas Grismayer, Marija Vranic, Joana L Martins +2

The growth rates of seeded QED cascades in counter propagating lasers are calculated with first principles 2D/3D QED-PIC simulations. The dependence of the growth rate on laser pol…

Self-modulated laser wakefield accelerators as x-ray sources

N. Lemos, J. L. Martins, F. S. Tsung +5

The development of a directional, small-divergence, and short-duration picosecond x-ray probe beam with an energy greater than 50 keV is desirable for high energy density science e…

Classical Radiation Reaction in Particle-In-Cell Simulations

Marija Vranic, Joana L. Martins, Ricardo A. Fonseca +1

Under the presence of ultra high intensity lasers or other intense electromagnetic fields the motion of particles in the ultrarelativistic regime can be severely affected by radiat…
