Relativistic flying mirrors in plasmas are thin, dense electron or electron–ion layers
accelerated by high-intensity electromagnetic waves to velocities close to the speed of light …

Abstract In high-intensity (> 10 21 W cm− 2) laser–matter interactions gamma-ray photon
emission by the electrons can strongly affect the electronʼs dynamics and copious numbers …

Electron–positron pair plasmas represent a unique state of matter, whereby there exists an
intrinsic and complete symmetry between negatively charged (matter) and positively …

Plasma acceleration has emerged as a promising technology for future particle accelerators,
particularly linear colliders. Significant progress has been made in recent decades toward …

In simulations of a 10 PW laser striking a solid, we demonstrate the possibility of producing a
pure electron-positron plasma by the same processes as those thought to operate in high …

Pair production can be triggered by high-intensity lasers via the Breit–Wheeler process.
However, the straightforward laser–laser colliding for copious numbers of pair creation …

The generation of ultrarelativistic positron beams with short duration (τ e+≃ 30 fs), small
divergence (θ e+≃ 3 mrad), and high density (ne+≃ 10 14–10 15 cm-3) from a fully optical …

When high-intensity laser interaction with matter enters the regime of dominated radiation
reaction, the radiation losses open the way for producing short pulse high-power γ-ray …

We report new experimental results obtained on three different laser facilities that show
directed laser-driven relativistic electron-positron jets with up to 30 times larger yields than …

The ways toward modeling of astrophysical processes and extreme field regimes with super-
power lasers are discussed. The main attention is paid to the problem of limited similarity in …
