Dominance of - electron-positron pair creation in a plasma driven by high-intensity lasers
Y. He, T. G. Blackburn, T. Toncian +1
Creation of electrons and positrons from light alone is a basic prediction of quantum electrodynamics, but yet to be observed. Here we show that it is possible to create …

Birefringence in thermally anisotropic relativistic plasmas and its impact on laser-plasma interactions
A. Arefiev, D. Stark, T. Toncian +1
One of the paradigm-shifting phenomena triggered in laser-plasma interactions at relativistic intensities is the so-called relativistic transparency. As the electrons become heated…

Generation of focusing ion beams by magnetized electron sheath acceleration
K. Weichman, J. J. Santos, S. Fujioka +2
We present the first 3D particle-in-cell simulations of laser driven sheath-based ion acceleration in a kilotesla-level applied magnetic field. The applied magnetic field creates t…
