چکیده
A previously unexplored experimental scheme is presented for generating low-divergence, ultra-dense, relativistic, electron-positron beams using 400 GeV/c protons available at facilities such as HiRadMat and AWAKE CERN. Preliminary Monte-Carlo Particle-in-cell simulations demonstrate the possibility of containing $10^{13}-10^{14}$ pairs sufficiently high densities to drive collisionless beam-plasma instabilities, which are expected play an important role in magnetic field generation related radiation signatures relativistic astrophysical phenomena. The pair quasi-neutral, with size exceeding several skin-depths all dimensions, allowing first time examination effect competition between transverse longitudinal instability modes on growth fields. Furthermore, allows controlling relative density hadrons beam, making it possible explore parameter spaces different environments.

Generating Radially and Azimuthally Polarized Beams by Using a Pair of Lateral Displacement Beamsplitters
This paper proposes a modified polarization converter for generating radially and azimuthally polarized beams. Based on a Mach–Zehnder-like interferometric structure, the device consists of a pair of lateral displacement beamsplitters (LDBs) and two half-wave plates that manipulate the states of polarization of incident linearly polarized light. Through the coherent superposition of two orthogo...
متن کاملPair production in counter-propagating laser beams
Based on an analysis of a specific electron trajectory in counterpropagating beams, Bell & Kirk (PRL 101, 200403 (2008)) recently suggested that laboratory lasers may shortly be able to produce significant numbers of electronpositron pairs. We confirm their results using an improved treatment of nonlinear Compton scattering in the laser beams. Implementing an algorithm that integrates classical...
متن کاملGenerating and measuring nondiffracting vector Bessel beams.
Nondiffracting vector Bessel beams are of considerable interest due to their nondiffracting nature and unique high-numerical-aperture focusing properties. Here we demonstrate their creation by a simple procedure requiring only a spatial light modulator and an azimuthally varying birefringent plate, known as a q-plate. We extend our control of both the geometric and dynamic phases to perform a p...
متن کاملSubwavelength Gratings for Generating Azimuthally Polarized Beams
We have experimentally investigated two binary subwavelength grating-miсropolarizers that transform linearly polarized light to the azimuthally polarized beam. The first miсropolarizer operates in reflective mode (for wavelength 532 nm) and was manufactured in a gold film. The second micropolarizer operates in transmitting mode (for wavelength 633 nm) and was manufactured in silicon.
متن کاملCherenkov radiation and pair production by particles traversing laser beams
It is shown that Cherenkov radiation can be observed at TESLA in electron collisions with optical laser pulses. The prospects for it to be observed at SLC, LEP, LHC and RHIC are discussed. The conclusions are compared with results for pair production. The problem of very high energy charged particles collisions with laser beams is widely discussed now, mostly in connection with the e + e −-pair...
