Lighting up the Christmas tree: high-intensity laser interactions with a nano-structured target

A. Gonoskov, C. Harvey, A. Ilderton +2

We perform a numerical study of the interaction of a high-intensity laser pulse with a nano-structured target. In particular, we study a target where the nano-structuring increases…

SIMLA: Simulating laser-particle interactions via classical and quantum electrodynamics

D. G. Green, C. N. Harvey

We present the Fortran code SIMLA, which is designed for the study of charged particle dynamics in laser and other background fields. This can be done classically via the Landau-Li…

Probing nonperturbative QED with optimally focused laser pulses

A. Gonoskov, I. Gonoskov, C. Harvey +5

We study nonperturbative pair production in intense, focused laser fields called e-dipole pulses. We address the conditions required, such as the quality of the vacuum, for reachin…

Radiation damping in pulsed Gaussian beams

Chris Harvey, Mattias Marklund

We consider the effects of radiation damping on the electron dynamics in a Gaussian beam model of a laser field. For high intensities, i.e. with dimensionless intensity a0 \gg 1, i…

Signatures of Radiation Reaction in Ultra-Intense Laser Fields

C. Harvey, T. Heinzl, M. Marklund

We discuss radiation reaction effects on charges propagating in ultra-intense laser fields. Our analysis is based on an analytic solution of the Landau-Lifshitz equation. We sugges…

Signatures of High-Intensity Compton Scattering

Chris Harvey, Thomas Heinzl, Anton Ilderton

We review known and discuss new signatures of high-intensity Compton scattering assuming a scenario where a high-power laser is brought into collision with an electron beam. At hig…
