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…
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…
