Simulating Unruh Radiation in High-Intensity Laser-Electron Interactions for Near-Term Experimental Tests
Rafi Hessami, Haidar Al-Naseri, Monika Yadav +3
The Unruh effect predicts that a uniformly accelerating observer perceives the vacuum as a thermal bath, yet direct observation remains elusive [1]. We simulate Unruh radiation in…
Probing the transition from classical to quantum radiation reaction in relativistic plasma
Haidar Al-Naseri, Gert Brodin
We study the transition from classical radiation reaction, described by the Landau-Lifshitz model, to the quantum mechanical regime. The plasma is subject to a circularly polarized…
Electron-positron pair annihilation in kinetic plasma
Haidar Al-Naseri
The process of electron positron pair annihilation, driven by strong fields (Inverse Schwinger mechanism) and high-frequency waves, is studied using the Dirac Heisenberg Wigner for…
Applicability of semi-classical theories in the strong field plasma regime
Haidar Al-Naseri, Gert Brodin
For many purposes, classical plasma dynamics models can work surprisingly well even for strong electromagnetic fields, approaching the Schwinger critical fields, and high frequenci…
Anomalous conductivity due to relativistic Landau quantization
Gert Brodin, Haidar Al-Naseri
We use a recently developed kinetic model derived from the Dirac equation, in order to study electromagnetic wave propagation in superstrong magnetic fields, such as in magnetars,…
