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 …

High-intensity lasers are critical for the exploration of strong field quantum electrodynamics.
We report here a demonstration of laser intensity exceeding 1 0 23 W/cm 2 with the CoReLS …

Laser-plasma physics has developed rapidly over the past few decades as lasers have
become both more powerful and more widely available. Early experimental and numerical …

Abstract This Conceptual Design Report describes LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an
experimental campaign that aims to combine the high-quality and high-energy electron …

We propose a new method of compressing laser pulses to ultrahigh powers based on
spatially varying dispersion of an inhomogeneous plasma. Here, compression is achieved …

This is a remarkable book. Arthur Yaghjian is by training and profession an electrical
engineer; but he has a deep interest in fundamental questions usually reserved for …

A bstract We consider radiation emitted by colour-charged and massive particles crossing
strong plane wave backgrounds in gauge theory and gravity. These backgrounds are …

Accurate modeling is necessary to support precision experiments investigating strong-field
QED phenomena. This modeling is particularly challenging in the transition between the …

The petawatt (PW) laser facility of the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) Center has
recently commissioned its second laser pulse transport line. This new beamline can be …
