The emergence of a new era reaching beyond current state-of-the-art ultrashort and
ultraintense laser technology has been enabled by the approval of around€ 850 million …

This paper studies the interaction of laser-driven γ photons and high-energy charged
particles with high-Z targets through Monte Carlo simulations. The interacting particles are …

High-power laser facilities give experimental access to fundamental strong-field quantum
electrodynamics processes. A key effect to be explored is the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler …

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 …

One of the remarkable phenomena in the laser-matter interaction is the extremely efficient
energy transfer to γ-photons, that appears as a collimated γ-ray beam. For interactions of …

The progressive development of high power lasers over the last several decades enables
the study of c-photon generation when an intense laser beam interacts with matter, mainly …

In the last decade, the laser intensity has reached up to 10 21 Wcm− 2 on focus allowing the
generation of new phenomena, which are relevant not only in basic physics research but …

We present a regime where an ultraintense laser pulse interacting with a foil target results in
high γ-photon conversion efficiency, obtained via three-dimensional quantum …

The advent of high-power ultra-short laser pulses opens up new frontiers of relativistic non-
linear optics, high energy density physics and laboratory astrophysics. As the laser electric …
