Upcoming and planned experiments combining increasingly intense lasers and energetic
particle beams will access new regimes of nonlinear, relativistic, quantum effects. This …

The dynamics of charged particles in electromagnetic fields is an essential component of
understanding the most extreme environments in our Universe. In electromagnetic fields of …

We present a survey of some recent theoretical and experimental studies on nonlinear
waves that form and propagate in a broad class of optical and matterwave media. The article …

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 …

Locally constant crossed field approximation (LCFA) is a powerful tool for theoretical and
numerical studies of various strong field quantum electrodynamical effects. We explore this …

The nonlinear (strong-field) Breit-Wheeler e+ e-pair production by a probe photon traversing
two consecutive short and ultrashort (subcycle) laser pulses is considered within a QED …

As Compton x-ray and gamma-ray sources become more prevalent, to understand their
performance in a precise way, it becomes important to be able to compute the distribution of …

The current state of research on high-intensity laser fields and their interaction with charged
particles is reviewed. Data on petawatt-class laser facilities are presented, and advanced …

A novel plasma mirror is proposed for realizing all-optical Compton scattering, and its
performance is compared with that of planar and concave plasma mirrors. Compared to a …

We investigated the emission of multi-MeV γ-Ray beams with orbital angular momentum
(OAM) from the interaction of an intense circularly polarized (CP) laser with a micro-channel …
