Relativistic flying mirrors in plasmas are thin, dense electron or electron–ion layers accelerated by high-intensity electromagnetic waves to velocities close to the speed of light …
The results of Monte-Carlo simulations of electron-positron-photon cascades initiated by slow electrons in circularly polarized fields of ultrahigh strength are presented and …
The ways toward modeling of astrophysical processes and extreme field regimes with super- power lasers are discussed. The main attention is paid to the problem of limited similarity in …
Laser light reflection by a relativistically moving electron density modulation (flying mirror) in a wake wave generated in a plasma by a high intensity laser pulse is investigated …
A high-contrast high-intensity petawatt-class Ti: sapphire chirped-pulse amplification laser has been developed for research on high field science. A saturable absorber and a low-gain …
When the parameters of electron-extreme power laser interaction enter the regime of dominated radiation reaction, the electron dynamics changes qualitatively. The adequate …
We demonstrate a new high-order harmonic generation mechanism reaching the “water window” spectral region in experiments with multiterawatt femtosecond lasers irradiating gas …
A novel scheme is proposed to generate uniform relativistic electron layers for coherent Thomson backscattering. A few-cycle laser pulse is used to produce the electron layer from …
We propose the experiments on the collision of laser light and high intensity electromagnetic pulses generated by relativistic flying mirrors, with electron bunches produced by a …
