Compton scattering in particle-in-cell codes
F. Del Gaudio, T. Grismayer, R. A. Fonseca +1
We present a Monte Carlo collisional scheme that models single Compton scattering between leptons and photons in particle-in-cell codes. The numerical implementation of Compton sca…
Plasma wakes driven by photon bursts via Compton scattering
Fabrizio Del Gaudio, Ricardo Fonseca, Luis O. Silva +1
Photon bursts with a wavelength smaller than the plasma inter-particle distance can drive plasma wakes via Compton scattering. We investigate this fundamental process analytically…
On the Prospect of Studying Nonperturbative QED with Beam-Beam Collisions
V. Yakimenko, S. Meuren, F. Del Gaudio +8
We demonstrate the possibility of probing for the first time the fully nonperturbative regime of quantum electrodynamics. By using tightly compressed and focused electron beams in…
Bright rays source and copious nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pairs in the collision of high density particle beams
F. Del Gaudio, T. Grismayer, R. A. Fonseca +2
The collision of ultrashort high-density or and beams at 10s of GeV, to be available at the FACET II and in laser wakefield accelerator experiments, can produce h…
