Upcoming and planned experiments combining increasingly intense lasers and energetic
particle beams will access new regimes of nonlinear, relativistic, quantum effects. This …

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 …

Abstract This Conceptual Design Report describes LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an
experimental campaign that aims to combine the high-quality and high-energy electron …

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 …

The dynamics of energetic particles in strong electromagnetic fields can be heavily
influenced by the energy loss arising from the emission of radiation during acceleration …

The description of the dynamics of an electron in an external electromagnetic field of
arbitrary intensity is one of the most fundamental outstanding problems in electrodynamics …

We review common extensions of particle-in-cell (PIC) schemes which account for strong
field phenomena in laser-plasma interactions. After describing the physical processes of …

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 …

Spin polarization of an ultrarelativistic electron beam head-on colliding with an ultraintense
laser pulse is investigated in the quantum radiation-dominated regime. We develop a Monte …

Since the invention of chirped pulse amplification, which was recognized by a Nobel Prize in
physics in 2018, there has been a continuing increase in available laser intensity. Combined …
