Dominance of - electron-positron pair creation in a plasma driven by high-intensity lasers
Y. He, T. G. Blackburn, T. Toncian +1
Creation of electrons and positrons from light alone is a basic prediction of quantum electrodynamics, but yet to be observed. Here we show that it is possible to create …

Optimized computation of tight focusing of short pulses using mapping to periodic space
Elena Panova, Valentin Volokitin, Evgeny Efimenko +9
When a pulsed, few-cycle electromagnetic wave is focused by optics with f-number smaller than two, the frequency components it contains are focused to different regions of space, b…

Self-absorption of synchrotron radiation in a laser-irradiated plasma
T. G. Blackburn, A. J. MacLeod, A. Ilderton +3
Electrons at the surface of a plasma that is irradiated by a laser with intensity in excess of are accelerated so strongly that they emit burst…
