Impact of the laser spatio-temporal shape on Breit-Wheeler pair production

A. Mercuri-Baron, M. Grech, F. Niel +4

The forthcoming generation of multi-petawatt lasers opens the way to abundant pair production by the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process, i.e., the decay of a photon into an electron-p…

Numerical modeling of laser tunneling ionization in Particle in Cell Codes with a laser envelope model

Francesco Massimo, Arnaud Beck, Julien Dérouillat +2

The resources needed for Particle in Cell simulations of Laser Wakefield Acceleration can be greatly reduced in many cases of interest using an envelope model. However, the inclusi…

How to generate intense isolated attosecond pulses from relativistic plasma mirrors?

H. Kallala, F. Quéré, H. Vincenti

Doppler harmonic generation of a high-power laser on a relativistic plasma mirror is a promising path to produce bright attosecond light bursts. Yet, a major challenge has been to…

High-Energy Radiation and Pair Production by Coulomb Processes in Particle-In-Cell Simulations

B. Martinez, M. Lobet, R. Duclous +2

We present a Monte Carlo implementation of the Bremsstrahlung, Bethe-Heitler and Coulomb Trident processes into the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation framework. In order to address…
