Extremely high-intensity laser interactions with fundamental<? format?> quantum systems

A Di Piazza, C Müller, KZ Hatsagortsyan… - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2012 - APS
The field of laser-matter interaction traditionally deals with the response of atoms, molecules,
and plasmas to an external light wave. However, the recent sustained technological …

Anomalous radiative trap** in laser fields of extreme intensity

A Gonoskov, A Bashinov, I Gonoskov, C Harvey… - Physical review …, 2014 - APS
We demonstrate that charged particles in a sufficiently intense standing wave are
compressed toward, and oscillate synchronously at, the antinodes of the electric field. We …

Transverse spreading of electrons in high-intensity laser fields

DG Green, CN Harvey - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We show that for collisions of electrons with a high-intensity laser, discrete photon emissions
introduce a transverse beam spread that is distinct from that due to classical (or beam …

SIMLA: Simulating particle dynamics in intense laser and other electromagnetic fields via classical and quantum electrodynamics

DG Green, CN Harvey - Computer Physics Communications, 2015 - Elsevier
We present the Fortran program SIMLA, which is designed for the study of charged particle
dynamics in laser and other background fields. The dynamics can be determined classically …

Phase-space contraction and attractors for ultrarelativistic electrons

G Lehmann, KH Spatschek - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and …, 2012 - APS
Ultrashort-pulse laser intensities can reach 10 22 W/cm 2. In this case the electron motion
becomes ultrarelativistic and significant bremsstrahlung occurs. The radiation causes a …

Symmetry breaking from radiation reaction in ultra-intense laser fields

C Harvey, T Heinzl, M Marklund - … Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2011 - APS
We discuss radiation reaction effects on charges propagating in ultraintense laser fields. Our
analysis is based on an analytic solution of the Landau-Lifshitz equation. We suggest …
