Ultra-bright GeV photon source via controlled electromagnetic cascades in laser-dipole waves
A. Gonoskov, A. Bashinov, S. Bastrakov +7
One aim of upcoming high-intensity laser facilities is to provide new high-flux gamma-ray sources. Electromagnetic cascades may serve for this, but are known to limit both field st…
QED-driven laser absorption
M. C. Levy, T. G. Blackburn, N. Ratan +13
Absorption covers the physical processes which convert intense photon flux into energetic particles when a high-power laser illuminates optically-thick matter. It underpins importa…
Focussing effects in laser-electron Thomson scattering
C. Harvey, M. Marklund, A. R. Holkundkar
We study the effects of laser pulse focussing on the spectral properties of Thomson scattered radiation. Modelling the laser as a paraxial beam we find that, in all but the most ex…
Theoretical benchmarking of laser-accelerated ion fluxes by 2D-PIC simulations
Felix Mackenroth, Arkady Gonoskov, Mattias Marklund
There currently exists a number of different schemes for laser based ion acceleration in the literature. Some of these schemes are also partly overlapping, making a clear distincti…
Depletion of intense fields
D. Seipt, T. Heinzl, M. Marklund +1
The interaction of charged particles and photons with intense electromagnetic fields gives rise to multi-photon Compton and Breit-Wheeler processes. These are usually described in…
Quantum radiation reaction: from interference to incoherence
Victor Dinu, Chris Harvey, Anton Ilderton +2
We investigate quantum radiation reaction in laser-electron interactions across different energy and intensity regimes. Using a fully quantum approach which also accounts exactly f…
Prospects for studying vacuum polarisation using dipole and synchrotron radiation
Anton Ilderton, Mattias Marklund
The measurement of vacuum polarisation effects, in particular vacuum birefringence, using combined optical and x-ray laser pulses is now actively pursued. Here we briefly examine t…
