On the design of experiments for the study of extreme field limits in the interaction of laser with ultrarelativistic electron beam
S. V. Bulanov, T. Zh. Esirkepov, Y. Hayashi +13
We propose the experiments on the collision of laser light and high intensity electromagnetic pulses generated by relativistic flying mirrors, with electron bunches produced by a c…
QED cascades induced by circularly polarized laser fields
N. V. Elkina, A. M. Fedotov, I. Yu. Kostyukov +4
The results of Monte-Carlo simulations of electron-positron-photon cascades initiated by slow electrons in circularly polarized fields of ultra-high strength are presented and disc…
Limitations on the attainable intensity of high power lasers
A. M. Fedotov, N. B. Narozhny, G. Mourou +1
It is shown that even a single pair created by a super strong laser field in vacuum would cause development of an avalanche-like QED cascade which rapidly depletes the inc…
Multiple colliding electromagnetic pulses: a way to lower the threshold of pair production from vacuum
S. S. Bulanov, V. D. Mur, N. B. Narozhny +2
The scheme of simultaneous multiple pulse focusing on one spot naturally arises from the structural features of projected new laser systems, such as ELI and HiPER. It is shown that…
Generation of harmonics by a focused laser beam in vacuum
A. M. Fedotov, N. B. Narozhny
Generation of odd harmonics by a super strong focused laser beam in vacuum is considered. The process occurs due to the plural light-by-light scattering effect. In the leading orde…
On e^+e^- pair production by a focused laser pulse in vacuum
S. S. Bulanov, N. B. Narozhny, V. D. Mur +1
The probability of electron-positron pair creation by a focused laser pulse is calculated. For description of the focused laser pulse we use a 3-dimensional model of the electromag…
