The dynamics of charged particles in electromagnetic fields is an essential component of
understanding the most extreme environments in our Universe. In electromagnetic fields of …

Vortex states of photons, electrons, and other particles are non-plane-wave solutions of the
corresponding wave equation with helicoidal wave fronts. These states possess an intrinsic …

Abstract Particle-in-cell (PIC) methods have a long history in the study of laser-plasma
interactions. Early electromagnetic codes used the Yee staggered grid for field variables …

Ultra-intense MeV photon and neutron beams are indispensable tools in many research
fields such as nuclear, atomic and material science as well as in medical and biophysical …

Plasma-based accelerators use the strong electromagnetic fields that can be supported by
plasmas to accelerate charged particles to high energies. Accelerating field structures in …

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 …

Abstract In high-intensity (> 10 21 W cm− 2) laser–matter interactions gamma-ray photon
emission by the electrons can strongly affect the electronʼs dynamics and copious numbers …

We demonstrate the experimental feasibility of probing the fully nonperturbative regime of
quantum electrodynamics with a 100 GeV-class particle collider. By using tightly …

Charged particles accelerated by electromagnetic fields emit radiation, which must, by the
conservation of momentum, exert a recoil on the emitting particle. The force of this recoil …

Collisionless shocks, that is shocks mediated by electromagnetic processes, are customary
in space physics and in astrophysics. They are to be found in a great variety of objects and …
