Impact of the laser spatio-temporal shape on Breit-Wheeler pair production
A. Mercuri-Baron, M. Grech, F. Niel +4
The forthcoming generation of multi-petawatt lasers opens the way to abundant pair production by the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process, i.e., the decay of a photon into an electron-p…
Efficient start-to-end 3D envelope modeling for two-stage laser wakefield acceleration experiments
Francesco Massimo, Arnaud Beck, Julien Dérouillat +5
Three dimensional Particle in Cell simulations of Laser Wakefield Acceleration require a considerable amount of resources but are necessary to have realistic predictions and to des…
High-Energy Radiation and Pair Production by Coulomb Processes in Particle-In-Cell Simulations
B. Martinez, M. Lobet, R. Duclous +2
We present a Monte Carlo implementation of the Bremsstrahlung, Bethe-Heitler and Coulomb Trident processes into the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation framework. In order to address…
From quantum to classical modelling of radiation reaction: a focus on the radiation spectrum
F. Niel, C. Riconda, F. Amiranoff +5
Soon available multi petawatt ultra-high-intensity (UHI) lasers will allow us to probe high-amplitude electromagnetic fields interacting with either ultra-relativistic electron bea…
Enhancing laser-driven proton acceleration by using micro-pillar arrays at high drive energy
Dimitri Khaghani, Mathieu Lobet, Björn Borm +8
The interaction of micro- and nano-structured target surfaces with high-power laser pulses is being widely investigated for its unprecedented absorption efficiency. We have develop…
