Ultrarelativistic electron bunches of solid densities and nuclear radiation from nanolayers-plasma-targets under superintense laser pulses

Published 27 Jul 2015 in physics.plasm-ph | (1507.07359v1)

Abstract: We consider nonlinear interaction of superpower laser pulses of relativistic intensities with nanolayers and solid-plasma-targets towards the production of high energy-density electron bunches along with nuclear radiation (hard $% \gamma $-quanta and positron fluxes). It is shown that petawatt lasers are capable of producing via two-target scheme high density field free electron/positron bunches and substantial amounts of $\gamma $-quanta with energies up to $200$ MeV. For actual supershort and tightly focused--strongly nonplane ultrarelativistic laser pulses of linear and circular polarizations 3D3V problem is solved via numerical simulations.
