Photon Acceleration in Magnetized Plasma: A Mechanism for Fast Radio Bursts

Sergei V. Bulanov, Gabriele Maria Grittani, Marcel Lamac +7

We propose a mechanism for fast radio bursts based on photon acceleration by relativistic shocks propagating through highly magnetized electron--positron plasmas, as expected in ma…

Limitations of post accelerating ion beams using the snowplow field in a near-critical density target

Davide Terzani, Stepan S. Bulanov, Lieselotte Obst-Huebl +11

Laser-matter interaction at relativistic intensities is central to almost every scientific case for multi-PW laser facilities. In particular, the progress in laser-driven ion accel…

Pair-loaded electron-only magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils

Brandon K. Russell, Qian Qian, Rebecca Fitzgarrald +12

We propose and simulate a laboratory platform to study the effects of positrons in magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils. Using particle-in-cell simulations, we…

Testing strong-field QED with the avalanche precursor

A. A. Mironov, S. S. Bulanov, A. Di Piazza +8

A two-beam high-power laser facility is essential for the study of one of the most captivating phenomena predicted by strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) and yet unobserved…
