Quantum signatures in laser-driven relativistic multiple scattering.
The dynamics of an electronic Dirac wave packet evolving under the influence of an ultraintense laser pulse and an ensemble of highly charged ions is investigated numerically. Special emphasis is placed on the evolution of quantum signatures from single to multiple scattering events. We quantify the occurrence of quantum relativistic interference fringes in various situations and stress their s...
متن کاملRelativistic signatures in laser-assisted scattering at high field intensities.
The complete Dirac-Volkov relativistic treatment of the first Born limit of laser-assisted potential scattering of electrons within a circularly polarized laser field has been compared to the nonrelativistic Bunkin-Fedorov approach. The dependence of the quiver energy on the electron four-momentum in an ultrastrong laser field leads to different energy transfer cross sections depending on the s...
متن کاملRadiation spectra of laser-driven quantum relativistic electrons
A procedure to calculate the radiation spectrum emitted by an arbitrarily prepared Dirac wave packet is developed. It is based on the Dirac charge current and classical electrodynamic theory. Apart from giving absolute intensity values, it is exact in terms of relativistic retardation effects and angular dependence. We employ a laser driven free electron to demonstrate the advantages of our met...
متن کاملHigh-harmonic generation in plasmas from relativistic laser-electron scattering
Results are presented on the generation of high harmonics through the scattering of relativistic electrons from high-intensity laser light. The characteristic signatures of this process are found to be the emission of evenorder harmonics, linear dependence on the electron density, significant amount of harmonics with circular polarization, and small spatial extent of the source. The harmonics a...
متن کاملEnhanced laser-driven ion acceleration in the relativistic transparency regime.
We report on the acceleration of ion beams from ultrathin diamondlike carbon foils of thickness 50, 30, and 10 nm irradiated by ultrahigh contrast laser pulses at intensities of approximately 7 x 10;{19} W/cm;{2}. An unprecedented maximum energy of 185 MeV (15 MeV/u) for fully ionized carbon atoms is observed at the optimum thickness of 30 nm. The enhanced acceleration is attributed to self-ind...
