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 …

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

We investigate the mechanisms responsible for single-lobed versus double-lobed angular
distributions of emitted γ-rays in laser-irradiated plasmas, focusing on how direct laser …

Plasma acceleration is considered a prospective technology for building a compact multi-
TeV electron–positron collider in the future. The challenge of this endeavor is greater for …

During the ultraintense laser interaction with solids (overdense plasmas), the competition
between two possible quantum electrodynamics (QED) mechanisms responsible for e±pair …

Positron creation and acceleration is one of the major challenges for constructing future
lepton colliders. On the one hand, conventional technology can provide a solution, but at a …

The interaction of high-intensity lasers with plasma is predicted to produce extreme quasi-
static magnetic fields with magnitudes approaching Megatesla levels. In relativistically …

Observing multiphoton electron–positron pair production (the nonlinear Breit–Wheeler
process) requires high-energy γ rays to interact with strong electromagnetic fields. In order …

Relativistic laser pulses can accelerate electrons up to energies of several GeV during the
interaction with gaseous targets through the direct laser acceleration (DLA) mechanism …

As a fundamental QED process, linear Breit-Wheeler (LBW) pair production predicted 90
years ago has not yet been demonstrated in experiments with real photons. Here, we …
