Charged particle motion and radiation in strong electromagnetic fields

Abstract: 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 sufficient magnitude, radiation emission dominates the particle motion and effects of quantum electrodynamics (QED) in strong fields are crucial, which triggers electron-positron pair cascades and counterintuitive particletrapping phenomena. As a result of recent progress in laser technology, high-power lasers provide a platform to cr… Show more

“…14 of Ref. [44], where the standard G(χ e ) is plotted, suggests that the quantum corrected result significantly reduces the classical estimate for χ e := −(F µν p ν ) 2 /(mE cr ) = Ep ⊥ /mE cr ∼ 0.5 − 1.…”

“…In the 20th century, Maxwell's equations had an impact beyond electromagnetism in the discovery of the theory of relativity and the field equations of quantum mechanics, which is the profound and the most fruitful in experimental physics since the time of Newton The Link Between the Spread Information and the Maxwell's Equation 07of electrical and electronic equipment. The reason why these equations can be solved only for structures of high symmetry [17,18].…”

“…The energy requirements to confine the electron beam are much less for a FF pulse because the peak intensity moves with the electron beam, which decouples the interaction length from the Rayleigh range. Confinement of the charged particles is aided by radiative cooling (radiation reaction [23][24][25][26]), which decreases the emittance and mean-squared radius of the beam at the cost of its average energy.…”
