Coherent radiation of an electron bunch colliding with an intense laser pulse

Evgeny Gelfer, Alexander Fedotov, Ondrej Klimo +1

We study the conditions for coherent radiation of an electron bunch driven by a counterpropagating strong pulsed electromagnetic plane wave. We derive the spectrum of the coherent…

Radiation induced acceleration of ions

Evgeny Gelfer, Alexander Fedotov, Stefan Weber

Radiation friction can have a substantial impact on electron dynamics in a transparent target exposed to a strong laser pulse. In particular, by modifying quiver electron motion, i…

Absorption and opacity threshold for a thin foil in a strong circularly polarized laser field

Evgeny Gelfer, Alexander Fedotov, Ondrej Klimo +1

We show that a commonly accepted transparency threshold for a thin foil in a strong circularly polarized normally incident laser pulse needs a refinement. We present a new analytic…

Self-consistent kinetic equations for -plasma generated from vacuum by strong electric field

S. A. Smolyansky, A. D. Panferov, S. O. Pirogov +1

We present a self-consistent kinetic description of an electron-positron-photon () plasma generated from vacuum in a focal spot of counterpropagating laser pulses. We rely…

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…

Theory and simulations of radiation friction induced enhancement of laser-driven longitudinal fields

E G Gelfer, A M Fedotov, S Weber

We consider the generation of a quasistatic longitudinal electric field by intense laser pulses propagating in a transparent plasma with radiation friction taken into account. For…

Unusual face of radiation friction: enhancing production of longitudinal plasma waves

E. G. Gelfer, N. V. Elkina, A. M. Fedotov

We study the penetration of ultraintense circularly polarized laser pulses into a thick subcritical plasma layer with accounting for radiation friction. We show that radiation pres…

Collapse and revival of electromagnetic cascades in focused intense laser pulses

A. A. Mironov, N. B. Narozhny, A. M. Fedotov

We consider interaction of a high-energy electron beam with two counterpropagating femtosecond laser pulses. Nonlinear Compton scattering and electron-positron pair production by t…

Laser field absorption in self-generated electron-positron pair plasma

E. N. Nerush, I. Yu. Kostyukov, A. M. Fedotov +3

Recently much attention has being attracted to the problem of limitations on the attainable intensity of high power lasers [A.M. Fedotov {\it et al.} Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{105},…
