Light-Matter Interaction Near the Schwinger Limit Using Tightly Focused Doppler-Boosted Lasers
Neïl Zaïm, Antonin Sainte-Marie, Luca Fedeli +4
The Schwinger limit could be approached by focusing to its diffraction limit the light reflected by a plasma mirror irradiated by a multi-petawatt laser. We explore numerically the…
RaDiO: an efficient spatiotemporal radiation diagnostic for particle-in-cell codes
M. Pardal, A. Sainte-Marie, A. Reboul-Salze +2
This work describes a novel radiation algorithm designed to capture the three-dimensional, space-time resolved electromagnetic field structure emitted by large ensembles of charged…
Quantum vacuum processes in the extremely intense light of relativistic plasma mirror sources
Antonin Sainte-Marie, Luca Fedeli, Neïl Zaïm +2
The advent of Petawatt-class laser systems allows generating electro-magnetic fields of unprecedented strength in a controlled environment, driving increasingly more efforts to pro…
PICSAR-QED: a Monte Carlo module to simulate Strong-Field Quantum Electrodynamics in Particle-In-Cell codes for exascale architectures
Luca Fedeli, Neïl Zaïm, Antonin Sainte-Marie +5
Physical scenarios where the electromagnetic fields are so strong that Quantum ElectroDynamics (QED) plays a substantial role are one of the frontiers of contemporary plasma physic…
Probing strong-field QED with Doppler-boosted PetaWatt-class lasers
Luca Fedeli, Antonin Sainte-Marie, Neil Zaïm +5
We propose a scheme to explore regimes of strong-field Quantum Electrodynamics (SF-QED) otherwise unattainable with the currently available laser technology. The scheme relies on r…
Dynamic description of ternary and quaternary splits of heavy nuclear systems in the deep-inelastic regime
P. Napolitani, A. Sainte-Marie, M. Colonna
Colliding heavy nuclear systems in the deep-inelastic regime may undergo partitioning into multiple fragments when fusion can not be achieved. While multiple breakups are common at…
Controlling the velocity of ultrashort light pulses in vacuum through spatio-temporal couplings
Antonin Sainte-Marie, Olivier Gobert, Fabien Quere
Due to their broad spectral width, ultrashort lasers provide new possibilities to shape light beams and control their properties, in particular through the use of spatio-temporal c…
