Self-organized positron reorienting and pinching mechanism for the experimental detection of the linear Breit-Wheeler process
Yutong He, Alexey Arefiev, Mario Manuel +2
The linear Breit-Wheeler (LBW) process () is a fundamental prediction of quantum electrodynamics, but yet to be observed under laboratory conditions usi…
Ion-motion-driven enhancement of energy coupling and stability in relativistic laser-microchannel interaction
K. Weichman, M. VanDusen-Gross, G. Bruhaug +5
For sufficiently short relativistic-intensity laser pulses, the disparity in time scales for electron and ion motion causes ions to behave as a fixed, neutralizing background. As t…
SimulCost: A Cost-Aware Benchmark and Toolkit for Automating Physics Simulations with LLMs
Yadi Cao, Sicheng Lai, Jiahe Huang +12
Evaluating LLM agents for scientific tasks has focused on token costs while ignoring tool-use costs like simulation time and experimental resources. As a result, metrics like pass@…
Collimated -ray emission enabled by efficient direct laser acceleration
Kavin Tangtartharakul, Gaetan Fauvel, Talia Meir +5
We investigate the mechanisms responsible for single-lobed versus double-lobed angular distributions of emitted -rays in laser-irradiated plasmas, focusing on how direct laser a…
Advances in laser-plasma interactions using intense vortex laser beams
Yin Shi, Xiaomei Zhang, Alexey Arefiev +1
Low-intensity light beams carrying Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM), commonly known as vortex beams, have garnered significant attention due to promising applications in areas rangin…
The Influence of Laser Focusing Conditions on the Direct Laser Acceleration of Electrons
H. Tang, K. Tangtartharakul, R. Babjak +12
Direct Laser Acceleration (DLA) of electrons during a high-energy, picosecond laser interaction with an underdense plasma has been demonstrated to be substantially enhanced by cont…
