论文摘要
我们提出了一项计划,以探索强场量子电动力学(SF-QED)的政权,否则目前可用的激光技术无法实现。该方案依赖于相对论的等离子体镜子,这些等离子体镜子呈辐射压力弯曲,以通过多普勒效应来提高petawatt-class激光脉冲的强度,并将其集中在极端的场强度上。我们表明,可以通过将辅助梁聚焦的次级目标放置,可以观察到非常清晰的SF-QED签名。
We propose a scheme to explore regimes of strong-field Quantum Electrodynamics (SF-QED) otherwise unattainable with the currently available laser technology. The scheme relies on relativistic plasma mirrors curved by radiation pressure to boost the intensity of PetaWatt-class laser pulses by Doppler effect and focus them to extreme field intensities. We show that very clear SF-QED signatures could be observed by placing a secondary target where the boosted beam is focused.
