A Fully Spin and Polarization Resolved Strong Field QED Algorithm for Particle-in-Cell Codes
Q. Qian, D. Seipt, M. Vranic +3
Modern ultra-intense laser facilities can generate electromagnetic fields strong enough to accelerate particles to near-light speeds over micron-scale distances and also approach t…

Bright polarised x-ray flashes from dense plasmas
Q. Qian, C. P. Ridgers, S. V. Bulanov +5
Creating a plasma dominated by strong-field QED (SFQED) effects is a major goal of new multi-PW laser facilities. This is motivated by the fact that the fundamental dynamics of suc…

High brightness multi-MeV photon source driven by a petawatt-scale laser wakefield accelerator
E. Gerstmayr, B. Kettle, M. J. V. Streeter +16
We present an experimental demonstration of a bright multi-MeV gamma source driven by a petawatt laser. The source generates on average photons above 1 MeV…
