Quantum signatures in laser-driven relativistic multiple-scattering

Abstract

The dynamics of an electronic Dirac wave packet evolving under the influence of an ultra-intense laser pulse and an ensemble of highly charged ions is investigated numerically. Special emphasis is placed on the evolution of quantum signatures from single to multiple scattering events. We quantify the occurrence of quantum relativistic interference fringes in various situations and stress their significance in multiple-particle systems, even in the relativistic range of laser-matter interaction.
