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 …

Charged particles accelerated by electromagnetic fields emit radiation, which must, by the
conservation of momentum, exert a recoil on the emitting particle. The force of this recoil …

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 …

Creation of electrons and positrons from light alone is a basic prediction of quantum
electrodynamics, but yet to be observed. Our simulations show that the required conditions …

The P3 installation of ELI-Beamlines is conceived as an experimental platform for multiple
high-repetition-rate laser beams spanning time scales from femtosecond via picosecond to …

The new generation of laser facilities is expected to deliver short (10 fs–100 fs) laser pulses
with 10–100 PW of peak power. This opens an opportunity to study matter at extreme …

The intensities of the order of 1023–24 W/cm2 are required to efficiently generate electron-
positron pairs in laser-matter interaction when multiple laser beam collision is employed. To …

High-intensity lasers interacting with solid foils produce copious numbers of relativistic
electrons, which in turn create strong sheath electric fields around the target. The proton …

Vacuum birefringence produces a differential phase between orthogonally polarized
components of a weak electromagnetic probe in the presence of a strong electromagnetic …

Direct measurement of the elastic scattering of real photons on an electromagnetic field
would allow the fundamental low-energy constants of quantum electrodynamics to be …
