Impact of laser focussing and radiation reaction on particle spectra from nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair production in the nonperturbative regime
A. Eckey, A. Golub, F. C. Salgado +4
Near-future experiments intend to detect strong-field Breit-Wheeler pair creation from the collision between bremsstrahlung bursts containing GeV- quanta and high-intensity lase…
Technical Design Report for the LUXE Experiment
H. Abramowicz, M. Almanza Soto, M. Altarelli +131
This Technical Design Report presents a detailed description of all aspects of the LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an experiment that will combine the high-quality and high-energ…
Direct accessibility of the fundamental constants governing light-by-light scattering
Felix Karbstein, Daniel Ullmann, Elena A. Mosman +1
Quantum field theory predicts the vacuum to exhibit a non-linear response to strong electromagnetic fields. This fundamental tenet has remained experimentally challenging and is ye…
Experimental estimates of the photon background in a potential light-by-light scattering study
Leonard Doyle, Pooyan Khademi, Peter Hilz +4
High power short pulse lasers provide a promising route to study the strong field effects of the quantum vacuum, for example by direct photon-photon scattering in the all-optical r…
Photo-induced pair production and strong field QED on Gemini
CH Keitel, A Di Piazza, GG Paulus +12
The extreme intensities obtainable with lasers such as Gemini allow non-linear QED phenomena to be investigated according to our calculations. Electron-positron pair production fro…
Laser acceleration of highly energetic carbon ions using a double-layer target composed of slightly underdense plasma and ultrathin foil
W. J. Ma, I Jong Kim, J. Q. Yu +18
We report the experimental generation of highly energetic carbon ions up to 48 MeV per nucleon by shooting double-layer targets composed of well-controlled slightly underdense plas…
Enhanced laser-driven ion acceleration by superponderomotive electrons generated from near-critical-density plasma
J. H. Bin, M. Yeung, Z. Gong +10
We report on the experimental studies of laser driven ion acceleration from double-layer target where a near-critical density target with a few-micron thickness is coated in front…
Experimental signatures of the quantum nature of radiation reaction in the field of an ultra-intense laser
K. Poder, M. Tamburini, G. Sarri +21
The description of the dynamics of an electron in an external electromagnetic field of arbitrary intensity is one of the most fundamental outstanding problems in electrodynamics. R…
Single 100-terawatt attosecond X-ray light pulse generation
X. R. Xu, B. Qiao, Y. X. Zhang +7
The birth of attosecond light sources is expected to inspire a breakthrough in ultrafast optics, which may extend human real-time measurement and control techniques into atomic-sca…
Selective Deuterium Ion Acceleration Using the Vulcan PW Laser
AG Krygier, JT Morrison, S Kar +17
We report on the successful demonstration of selective acceleration of deuterium ions by target-normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) with a high-energy petawatt laser. TNSA typically…
Ultra-high brilliance multi-MeV -ray beam from non-linear Thomson scattering
G. Sarri, D. J. Corvan, W. Schumaker +13
We report on the generation of a narrow divergence ( mrad), multi-MeV ( MeV) and ultra-high brilliance ( photons s m…
Bright subcycle XUV pulse from a single dense relativistic electron sheet
W. J. Ma, J. H. Bin, H. Y. Wang +11
Relativistic electrons are prodigious sources of photons. Beyond classical accelerators, ultra-intense laser interactions are of particular interest as they allow the coherent moti…
A table-top laser-based source of femtosecond, collimated, ultra-relativistic positron beams
G. Sarri, W. Schumaker, A. Di Piazza +13
