Control of nonlinear Compton scattering in a squeezed vacuum
A. Di Piazza, K. Qu
Electromagnetic radiation by accelerated charges is a fundamental process in physics. Here, we introduce a quantum-optical framework for controlling the emission of radiation of an…
Observation of quantum effects on radiation reaction in strong fields
Eva E. Los, Elias Gerstmayr, Christopher Arran +28
Radiation reaction, the force experienced by an accelerated charge due to radiation emission, has long been the subject of extensive theoretical and experimental research. Experime…
Enhanced quantum radiation with flying-focus laser pulses
Martin S. Formanek, John P. Palastro, Dillon Ramsey +1
The emission of a photon by an electron in an intense laser field is one of the most fundamental processes in electrodynamics and underlies the many applications that utilize high-…
Testing strong-field QED with the avalanche precursor
A. A. Mironov, S. S. Bulanov, A. Di Piazza +8
A two-beam high-power laser facility is essential for the study of one of the most captivating phenomena predicted by strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) and yet unobserved…
Broadband coherent XUV light from microbunching in an intense laser pulse
Michael J. Quin, Antonino Di Piazza, ÃaÄrı Erciyes +2
Attosecond pulses of coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light are instrumental for investigating subatomic dynamics and can be produced using a free-electron laser (FEL). It has be…
Effect of interparticle fields and radiation reaction on beam dynamics
Michael J. Quin, Antonino Di Piazza, Christoph H. Keitel +1
The dynamics of relativistic particles in an intense electromagnetic field can be described by the Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation, where the adiation reaction (RR) is accounted for…
