Analytical calculation of the spectrum of nonlinear Compton scattering beyond local approximations
M. P. Malakhov, Th. Benahmed, E. G. Gelfer +4
We derive compact analytical formulae for the spectrum of nonlinear Compton scattering in a finite plane-wave pulse with a smooth temporal envelope. The strong-field QED probabilit…
Coherently enhanced radiation friction in laser-plasma collisions
E. G. Gelfer, A. M. Fedotov, M. P. Malakhov +2
We reconsider the footprints of radiation friction in a head-on collision of a bunch of relativistic charged particles with a laser pulse by demonstrating that forward and backward…
Analytical theory of coherent radiation and radiation friction in laser-plasma collisions
E. G. Gelfer, A. M. Fedotov, M. P. Malakhov +4
We develop an analytical theory of coherent (scaled quadratically with the number of particles) radiation and coherent radiation friction in a head-on collision of a dense charged…
Strong-field ionization in particle-in-cell simulations
A. A. Mironov, E. G. Gelfer, I. I. Tupitsyn +11
The inclusion of the process of multiple ionization of atoms in high-intensity electromagnetic fields into particle-in-cell (PIC) codes applied to the simulation of laser-plasma in…
