Thanks to a rapid progress of high-power lasers since the birth of laser by TH Maiman in
1960, intense lasers have been developed mainly for studying the scientific feasibility of …

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 …

Relativistic electron-positron plasmas are ubiquitous in extreme astrophysical environments
such as black-hole and neutron-star magnetospheres, where accretion-powered jets and …

Contemporary ultraintense, short-pulse laser systems provide extremely compact setups for
the production of high-flux neutron beams, such as those required for nondestructive …

Laser-driven positron sources, characterized by short pulse width, small focal spot and high
