Strong field vacuum birefringence in plane wave pulses
B. King, T. Heinzl, T. G. Blackburn
By combining an adiabatic approach based on a `locally monochromatic' approximation with a local Hilbert transform, it is demonstrated how vacuum birefringence in the strong field…
Simulations of laser-driven strong-field QED with Ptarmigan: Resolving wavelength-scale interference and -ray polarization
T. G. Blackburn, B. King, S. Tang
Accurate modelling is necessary to support precision experiments investigating strong-field QED phenomena. This modelling is particularly challenging in the transition between the…
Higher fidelity simulations of nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair creation in intense laser pulses
T. G. Blackburn, B. King
When a photon collides with a laser pulse, an electron-positron pair can be produced via the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process. A simulation framework has been developed to calculate…
LUXE-NPOD: new physics searches with an optical dump at LUXE
Zhaoyu Bai, Thomas Blackburn, Oleksandr Borysov +8
We propose a novel way to search for feebly interacting massive particles, exploiting two properties of systems involving collisions between high energy electrons and intense laser…
From local to nonlocal: higher fidelity simulations of photon emission in intense laser pulses
T. G. Blackburn, A. J. MacLeod, B. King
State-of-the-art numerical simulations of quantum electrodynamical (QED) processes in strong laser fields rely on a semiclassical combination of classical equations of motion and Q…
