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…
Scaling laws for positron production in laser--electron-beam collisions
T. G. Blackburn, A. Ilderton, C. D. Murphy +1
Showers of -rays and positrons are produced when a high-energy electron beam collides with a super-intense laser pulse. We present scaling laws for the electron beam energy loss…
Signatures of quantum effects on radiation reaction in laser -- electron-beam collisions
C. P. Ridgers, T. G. Blackburn, D. Del Sorbo +7
Two signatures of quantum effects on radiation reaction in the collision of a ~GeV electron-beam with a high-intensity (>3x10^20W/cm^2) laser-pulse have been considered. We show th…
Experimental evidence of radiation reaction in the collision of a high-intensity laser pulse with a laser-wakefield accelerated electron beam
J. M. Cole, K. T. Behm, T. G. Blackburn +21
The dynamics of energetic particles in strong electromagnetic fields can be heavily influenced by the energy loss arising from the emission of radiation during acceleration, known…
Spin polarization of electrons by ultraintense lasers
D. Del Sorbo, D. Seipt, T. G. Blackburn +4
In a strong magnetic field, ultra-relativistic electrons or positrons undergo spin flip transitions as they radiate, preferentially spin polarizing in one direction -- the Sokolov-…
