Laser-driven plasma pinching in cascade
E. S. Efimenko, A. V. Bashinov, A. A. Gonoskov +5
The cascaded production and dynamics of electron-positron plasma in ultimately focused laser fields of extreme intensity are studied by 3D particle-in-cell simulations with the acc…
Extreme plasma states in laser-governed vacuum breakdown
Evgeny S. Efimenko, Aleksei V. Bashinov, Sergei I. Bastrakov +5
Triggering vacuum breakdown at the upcoming laser facilities can provide rapid electron-positron pair production for studies in laboratory astrophysics and fundamental physics. How…
Single Cycle Thin Film Compressor Opening the door to Zeptosecond-Exawatt Physics
G. Mourou, S. Mironov, E. Khazanov +1
This article demonstrates a new compression scheme that has the potential to compress a high energy pulse as high as a few hundred Joules in a pulse as short as one optical cycle a…
Probing nonperturbative QED with optimally focused laser pulses
A. Gonoskov, I. Gonoskov, C. Harvey +5
We study nonperturbative pair production in intense, focused laser fields called e-dipole pulses. We address the conditions required, such as the quality of the vacuum, for reachin…
