Light-Matter Interaction Near the Schwinger Limit Using Tightly Focused Doppler-Boosted Lasers
Neïl Zaïm, Antonin Sainte-Marie, Luca Fedeli +4
The Schwinger limit could be approached by focusing to its diffraction limit the light reflected by a plasma mirror irradiated by a multi-petawatt laser. We explore numerically the…
PICSAR-QED: a Monte Carlo module to simulate Strong-Field Quantum Electrodynamics in Particle-In-Cell codes for exascale architectures
Luca Fedeli, Neïl Zaïm, Antonin Sainte-Marie +5
Physical scenarios where the electromagnetic fields are so strong that Quantum ElectroDynamics (QED) plays a substantial role are one of the frontiers of contemporary plasma physic…
Superintense Laser-driven Ion Beam Analysis
Matteo Passoni, Luca Fedeli, Francesco Mirani
Ion beam analysis techniques are among the most powerful tools for advanced material characterization. Despite their growing relevance in a widening number of fields, most ion beam…
Extensive study of electron acceleration by relativistic surface plasmons
Giada Cantono, Andrea Sgattoni, Luca Fedeli +5
The excitation of surface plasmons with ultra-intense ( W/cm), high contrast () laser pulses on periodically-modulated solid targets has be…
Parametric investigation of laser interaction with uniform and nanostructured near-critical plasmas
Luca Fedeli, Arianna Formenti, Carlo Enrico Bottani +1
Laser interaction with uniform and nanostructured near-critical plasmas has been investigated by means of 2D particle-in-cell simulations. The effect of a nanostructure (modeled as…
Relativistic surface-plasmon enhanced harmonic generation from gratings
Luca Fedeli, Andrea Sgattoni, Giada Cantono +1
The role of relativistic surface plasmons (SPs) in high order harmonic emission from laser-irradiated grating targets has been investigated by means of particle-in-cell simulations…
