Reaching supercritical field strengths with intense lasers
T. G. Blackburn, A. Ilderton, M. Marklund +1
It is conjectured that all perturbative approaches to quantum electrodynamics (QED) break down in the collision of a high-energy electron beam with an intense laser, when the laser…
Realising Single-Shot Measurements of Quantum Radiation Reaction in High-Intensity Lasers
C. D. Baird, C. D. Murphy, T. G. Blackburn +4
Collisions between high intensity laser pulses and energetic electron beams are now used to measure the transition between the classical and quantum regimes of light-matter interac…
Benchmarking semiclassical approaches to strong-field QED: nonlinear Compton scattering in intense laser pulses
T. G. Blackburn, D. Seipt, S. S. Bulanov +1
The recoil associated with photon emission is key to the dynamics of ultrarelativistic electrons in strong electromagnetic fields, as are found in high-intensity laser-matter inter…
Nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair creation with bremsstrahlung rays
T. G. Blackburn, M. Marklund
Electron-positron pairs are produced through the Breit-Wheeler process when energetic photons traverse electromagnetic fields of sufficient strength. Here we consider a possible ex…
