Double-Adiabatic Equations of State for Relativistic Plasmas
Agnieszka Wierzchucka, Pablo J. Bilbao, Alexander G. R. Thomas +2
The adiabatic equation of state describes the pressure evolution of highly collisional, isotropic plasmas in terms of their density, providing a possible closure of…
A Deterministic Ionization Algorithm for the OSIRIS Particle-in-Cell Framework
Stephen DiIorio, Ricardo Fonseca, Frank Tsung +2
Ionization is critical in the formation and evolution of plasma dynamics; collisional ionization, in particular, is an often overlooked source of electrons when dealing with laser-…
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…
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…
Novel Signatures of Radiation Reaction in Electron-Laser Sidescattering
Philipp Sikorski, Alec G. R. Thomas, Stepan S. Bulanov +2
In this article we investigate novel signatures of radiation reaction via the angular deflection of an electron beam colliding at 90 degrees with an intense laser pulse. Due to the…
On the energy spectrum evolution of electrons undergoing radiation cooling
S. V. Bulanov, G. M. Grittani, R. Shaisultanov +5
Radiative cooling of electron beams interacting with counter-propagating electromagnetic waves is analyzed, taking into account the quantum modification of the radiation friction f…
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…
Ultra-high brilliance multi-MeV -ray beam from non-linear Thomson scattering
G. Sarri, D. J. Corvan, W. Schumaker +13
We report on the generation of a narrow divergence ( mrad), multi-MeV ( MeV) and ultra-high brilliance ( photons s m…
