Bayesian Optimisation of Non-linear Breit-Wheeler Pair Production in Simulated Laser Experiments
Christopher Arran, Stuart Morris, Christopher P. Ridgers
High laser intensities enable the production of electron-positron pairs from bright gamma rays passing through strong fields. Potentially the most promising approach for all-optica…
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…
The effect of the electron's spin magnetic moment on quantum radiation in strong electromagnetic fields
Louis A. Ingle, Christopher D. Arran, Matthew Oxley +4
Ultra-intense laser pulses can create sufficiently strong fields to probe quantum electrodynamics effects in a novel regime. By colliding a 60 GeV electron bunch with a laser pulse…
Reaching extreme fields in laser-electron beam collisions with XUV laser light
Brandon K. Russell, Christopher P. Ridgers, Stepan S. Bulanov +8
Plasma-based particle accelerators promise to extend the revolutionary work performed with conventional particle accelerators to studies with smaller footprints, lower costs, and h…
Demonstration of The Brightest Nano-size Gamma Source
A. S. Pirozhkov, A. Sagisaka, K. Ogura +46
Gamma rays selectively interact with nuclei, induce and mediate nuclear reactions and elementary particle interactions, and exceed x-rays in penetrating power and thus are indispen…
