Injection and Acceleration of Electrons by Radially Polarized Laser Pulses in a Plasma Channel
P. Hadjisolomou, P. Valenta, R. Shaisultanov +4
We consider injection and subsequent acceleration of electrons in narrow plasma channels irradiated by linearly and radially polarized ultraintense laser pulses. Using three-dimens…
Bayesian optimization of electron energy from laser wakefield accelerators
P. Valenta, T. Zh. Esirkepov, J. D. Ludwig +2
We use Bayesian optimization in combination with three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations to determine the optimal laser and plasma parameters that, for a given laser pulse e…
Bright polarised x-ray flashes from dense plasmas
Q. Qian, C. P. Ridgers, S. V. Bulanov +5
Creating a plasma dominated by strong-field QED (SFQED) effects is a major goal of new multi-PW laser facilities. This is motivated by the fact that the fundamental dynamics of suc…
Alloharmonics in Burst Intensification by Singularity Emitting Radiation
K. Ogura, M. S. Pirozhkova, A. Sagisaka +18
Burst Intensification by Singularity Emitting Radiation (BISER) in underdense relativistic laser plasma is a bright source of coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and x-ray radiation…
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…
Input to the European Strategy for Particle Physics: Strong-Field Quantum Electrodynamics
G. Sarri, B. King, T. Blackburn +21
This document sets out the intention of the strong-field QED community to carry out, both experimentally and numerically, high-statistics parametric studies of quantum electrodynam…
