Radiation from polarized vacuum in a laser-particle collision

M. Jirka, P. Sasorov, S. V. Bulanov

The probability of photon emission of a charged particle traversing a strong field becomes modified if vacuum polarization is considered. This feature is important for fundamental…

On the new and old physics in the interaction of a radiating electron with the extreme electromagnetic field

M. Jirka, P. V. Sasorov, S. V. Bulanov

We show that an all-optical configuration of the laser-electron collision in the configuration based on 10 PW-class lasers presents a viable platform for reaching the range…

Relativistic plasma aperture for laser intensity enhancement

M. Jirka, O. Klimo, M. Matys

A substantial increase in local laser intensity is observed in the near field behind a plasma shutter.This increase is caused by the interference of the diffracted light at the rel…

Enhanced photon emission from a double-layer target at moderate laser intensities

M. Jirka, O. Klimo, Y. J. Gu +1

In this paper we study photon emission in the interaction of the laser beam with an under-dense target and the attached reflecting plasma mirror. Photons are emitted due to the inv…
