Relativistic phase effect in modeling interactions between ultraintense laser beams and electrons plasma

Relativistic laser plasma interactions

“…The papers by Magnusson et al [1] and Fedeli et al [2] consider ways of improving the absorption of [4] analyze the efficiency of hard photon generation in the interaction of relativistic laser pulses with plasma electrons. By considering the electron radiation processes -bremsstrahlung emission of laser heated electrons and nonlinear Compton scattering, the authors show that the first process dominates for relatively low laser intensities below 10 21 -10 22 W/cm 2 , while the second one becomes more important in the QED regime for intensities above 10 22 W/cm 2 .…”
