Quasistatic modeling of ultrarelativistic beam-plasma instabilities
P. San Miguel Claveria, L. Gremillet, X. Davoine +5
Relativistic particle beams propagating through dense ambient plasmas are susceptible to streaming instabilities that can govern the system dynamics in various astrophysical and la…
Modeling ultrarelativistic streaming plasma instabilities under the quasistatic approximation
P. San Miguel Claveria, Q. Labro, X. Davoine +5
Plasma streaming instabilities excited by relativistic charged particle beams play a pivotal role in astrophysical and laboratory environments. Their numerical study, however, is c…
Intrinsic Nonlocality of Spin- and Polarization-Resolved Probabilities in Strong-Field Quantum Electrodynamics
Samuele Montefiori, Antonino Di Piazza, Tobias Podszus +2
Spin and polarization are central to precision tests of fundamental physics and for interpreting radiation from astrophysical sources and ultraintense laser-matter experiments. Her…
Strong-field focusing of high-energy particles in beam-multifoil collisions
Aimé Matheron, Doug Storey, Max F. Gilljohann +25
Extreme beams of charged particles and photons, reaching ultrahigh densities or producing intense gamma-ray bursts, are central to accelerator physics, laboratory astrophysics, and…
Pair beams unlock beyond-terawatt attosecond free-electron laser pulses
ÃaÄrı Erciyes, Christoph H. Keitel, Matteo Tamburini
Free-electron lasers (FELs) generate the brightest coherent X-ray pulses available, enabling atomic-resolution and femtosecond-timescale studies across physics, chemistry, and biol…
Observation of quantum effects on radiation reaction in strong fields
Eva E. Los, Elias Gerstmayr, Christopher Arran +28
Radiation reaction, the force experienced by an accelerated charge due to radiation emission, has long been the subject of extensive theoretical and experimental research. Experime…
