Brilliant X-and γ-ray sources with ultrashort duration are widely pursued in fundamental
science, industry and medicine. Compact femtosecond X-ray sources based on relativistic …

Self-organization in an unmagnetized collisionless plasma (in this paper) refers to formation
of transient coherent structures such as collective oscillations (electrostatic waves) or …

The forthcoming generation of multi-petawatt lasers opens the way to abundant pair
production by the nonlinear Breit–Wheeler process, ie the decay of a photon into an electron …

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 …

Ongoing progress in laser and accelerator technology opens new possibilities in high-field
science, notably to investigate the largely unexplored strong-field quantum electrodynamics …

Strong-field quantum electrodynamics (SFQED) processes are central in determining the
dynamics of particles and plasmas in extreme electromagnetic fields such as those present …

We investigate the suitability of using GeV laser wakefield accelerated electron beams to
measure strong, B> 0.1 MT, magnetic fields. This method is explored as an alternative to …

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 quality of electron beams produced from plasma-based accelerators, ie, normalized
brightness and energy spread, has made transformative progress in the past several …

A method for the generation of ultrarelativistic electron beams with high spin polarization is
put forward, where a tightly focused linearly polarized ultraintense laser pulse interacts with …
