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…
Testing strong-field QED with the avalanche precursor
A. A. Mironov, S. S. Bulanov, A. Di Piazza +8
A two-beam high-power laser facility is essential for the study of one of the most captivating phenomena predicted by strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) and yet unobserved…
Experimental evidence of stimulated Raman re-scattering in laser-plasma interaction
J. -R. Marquès, F. Pérez, P. Loiseau +5
We present the first experimental evidence of stimulated Raman re-scattering of a laser in plasma: The scattered light produced by the Raman instability is intense enough to scatte…
Strong-field ionization in particle-in-cell simulations
A. A. Mironov, E. G. Gelfer, I. I. Tupitsyn +11
The inclusion of the process of multiple ionization of atoms in high-intensity electromagnetic fields into particle-in-cell (PIC) codes applied to the simulation of laser-plasma in…
