A Fully Spin and Polarization Resolved Strong Field QED Algorithm for Particle-in-Cell Codes
Q. Qian, D. Seipt, M. Vranic +3
Modern ultra-intense laser facilities can generate electromagnetic fields strong enough to accelerate particles to near-light speeds over micron-scale distances and also approach t…

Properties of Pair Plasmas Emerging from Electromagnetic Showers in Matter
M. Pouyez, G. Nicotera, M. Galbiati +4
Electromagnetic showers from high-energy electron beams interacting with a target are a promising path to creating pair plasmas in the laboratory. Here, we solve analytically the k…

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…
