Alignment and Timing Jitter in Flying-Focus Inverse Compton Scattering
S. G. Rykovanov, I. Dubinkin, M. P. Malakhov +3
Flying-focus laser pulses can extend the effective interaction length in inverse Compton sources by controlling the trajectory of the focal intensity. Their practical advantage, ho…
Beam-Level Nonlinear Compton Spectra via a Neural Network Surrogate Model
Antonina Timoshenko, Maxim Malakhov, Alexander Fedotov +1
Nonlinear Compton scattering enables sources of intense high-energy radiation. However, predicting source-level spectra for realistic electron beams typically requires computationa…
Analytical calculation of the spectrum of nonlinear Compton scattering beyond local approximations
M. P. Malakhov, Th. Benahmed, E. G. Gelfer +4
We derive compact analytical formulae for the spectrum of nonlinear Compton scattering in a finite plane-wave pulse with a smooth temporal envelope. The strong-field QED probabilit…
Coherently enhanced radiation friction in laser-plasma collisions
E. G. Gelfer, A. M. Fedotov, M. P. Malakhov +2
We reconsider the footprints of radiation friction in a head-on collision of a bunch of relativistic charged particles with a laser pulse by demonstrating that forward and backward…
Analytical theory of coherent radiation and radiation friction in laser-plasma collisions
E. G. Gelfer, A. M. Fedotov, M. P. Malakhov +4
We develop an analytical theory of coherent (scaled quadratically with the number of particles) radiation and coherent radiation friction in a head-on collision of a dense charged…
