High-energy γ-photon generation via nonlinear Compton scattering and electron–positron
pair creation via the Breit–Wheeler process driven by laser–plasma interaction are modeled …

Since the invention of chirped pulse amplification, which was recognized by a Nobel Prize in
physics in 2018, there has been a continuing increase in available laser intensity. Combined …

We discovered a simple regime where a near-critical plasma irradiated by a laser of
experimentally available intensity can self-organize to produce positrons and accelerate …

Using three-dimensional kinetic simulations, we examine the emission of collimated γ-ray
beams from structured laser-irradiated targets with a prefilled cylindrical channel and its …

Experimental measurements using the OMEGA EP laser facility demonstrated direct laser
acceleration (DLA) of electron beams to (505±75) MeV with (140±30) nC of charge from a …

A microtube implosion driven by ultraintense laser pulses is used to produce ultrahigh
magnetic fields. Due to the laser-produced hot electrons with energies of mega-electron …

The study of relativistic electron–positron pair plasmas is both of fundamental physics
interest and important to understand the processes that shape the magnetic field dynamics …

As an alternative to Compton backscattering and bremsstrahlung, the process of colliding
high-energy electron beams with strong laser fields can more efficiently provide both a …

The direct laser acceleration (DLA) of electrons in underdense plasmas can provide
hundreds of nC of electrons accelerated to near-GeV energies using currently available …

We show that a single laser pulse, traveling through a dense plasma, produces a population
of MeV photons of sufficient density to generate a large number of electron–positron pairs …
