Experimental demonstration of Flying-Focus enhanced Thomson scattering
E. Gerstmayr, C. Mariani, R. Fitzgarrald +23
We report the experimental demonstration of a spatiotemporally engineered "Flying-Focus" laser pulse for enhanced x-ray generation in relativistic Thomson scattering. A combination…
Intrinsic Nonlocality of Spin- and Polarization-Resolved Probabilities in Strong-Field Quantum Electrodynamics
Samuele Montefiori, Antonino Di Piazza, Tobias Podszus +2
Spin and polarization are central to precision tests of fundamental physics and for interpreting radiation from astrophysical sources and ultraintense laser-matter experiments. Her…
Infrared behavior of the photon yield in nonlinear Compton scattering
Antonino Di Piazza, Giulio Audagnotto
Nonlinear Compton scattering is the process of emission of a single photon by a charge driven by an intense laser field. Here, we study the infrared behavior of the photon yield em…
Nonlinear Compton scattering in a frequency-modulated field
Antonino Di Piazza, Kenan Qu
When an electron is accelerated, it emits radiation. In the relativistic quantum realm the elementary radiation process is the emission of a single photon, a process known as nonli…
Exact solution of the DeWitt-Brehme-Hobbs equation in copropagating electromagnetic and gravitational waves
Giulio Audagnotto, Antonino Di Piazza
An accelerated charge interacts with its own electromagnetic field, a phenomenon known as electromagnetic radiation reaction. The DeWitt-Brehme-Hobbs (DWBH) equation describes the…
Structured Light at the Extreme: Harnessing Spatiotemporal Control for High-Field Laser-Matter Interactions
Sergio Carbajo, Seung-Whan Bahk, Justin Baker +19
This review charts the emerging paradigm of intelligent structured light for high-field laser-matter interactions, where the precise spatiotemporal and vectorial control of light i…
