Electron–Positron Pair Production by Electromagnetic Pulses
Electron–positron pair production in vacuum by a single focused laser pulse and by two counterpropagating colliding focused pulses is analyzed. A focused laser pulse is described using a realistic threedimensional model based on an exact solution of Maxwell’s equations. In particular, this model reproduces an important property of focused beams, namely, the existence of two types of waves with ...
متن کاملLaser - Driven Electron Acceleration in Infinite Vacuum
I first review basic models for laser-plasma interaction that explain electron acceleration and beam confinement in plasma. Next, I discuss ponderomotive electron acceleration in infinite vacuum, showing that the transverse scattering angle of the accelerated electron may be kept small with a proper choice of parameters. I then analyze the direct (a.k.a. linear) acceleration of an electron in i...
متن کاملMulti-MeV Electron Acceleration by Subterawatt Laser Pulses.
We demonstrate laser-plasma acceleration of high charge electron beams to the ∼10 MeV scale using ultrashort laser pulses with as little energy as 10 mJ. This result is made possible by an extremely dense and thin hydrogen gas jet. Total charge up to ∼0.5 nC is measured for energies >1 MeV. Acceleration is correlated to the presence of a relativistically self-focused laser filament accompani...
متن کاملLaser driven electron acceleration in vacuum, gases, and plasmas*
In this paper we discuss some of the important issues pertaining to laser acceleration in vacuum, neutral gases, and plasmas. The limitations of laser vacuum acceleration as they relate to electron slippage, laser diffraction, material damage, and electron aperture effects, are discussed. An inverse Cherenkov laser acceleration configuration is presented in which a laser beam is self-guided in ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic solitary pulses in a magnetized electron-positron plasma.
A theory for large amplitude compressional electromagnetic solitary pulses in a magnetized electron-positron (e-p) plasma is presented. The pulses, which propagate perpendicular to the external magnetic field, are associated with the compression of the plasma density and the wave magnetic field. Here the solitary wave magnetic field pressure provides the restoring force, while the inertia comes...
