Physics-informed Bayesian optimization of high-order harmonic generation in gases
Dominika Maslarova, Mattys Pouyez, Patrik Jansson +5
Optimization of high-order harmonic generation in gases is essential for attosecond science. Improving conversion efficiency from the infrared driving laser to the extreme-ultravio…
Properties of Pair Plasmas Emerging from Electromagnetic Showers in Matter
M. Pouyez, G. Nicotera, M. Galbiati +4
Electromagnetic showers from high-energy electron beams interacting with a target are a promising path to creating pair plasmas in the laboratory. Here, we solve analytically the k…
Kinetic structure of strong-field QED showers in crossed electromagnetic fields
Mattys Pouyez, Thomas Grismayer, Mickael Grech +1
A complete, kinetic description of electron-seeded strong-field QED showers in crossed electromagnetic fields is derived. The kinetic structure of the shower and its temporal evolu…
Self-triggered strong-field QED collisions in laser-plasma interaction
Aimé Matheron, Igor Andriyash, Xavier Davoine +6
Exploring quantum electrodynamics in the most extreme conditions, where electron-positron pairs can emerge in the presence of a strong background field, is now becoming possible in…
Multiplicity of electron- and photon-seeded electromagnetic showers at multi-petawatt laser facilities
M. Pouyez, A. A. Mironov, T. Grismayer +5
Electromagnetic showers developing from the collision of an ultra-intense laser pulse with a beam of high-energy electrons or photons are investigated under conditions relevant to…
