Relativistically transparent magnetic filaments: scaling laws, initial results and prospects for strong-field QED studies
Relativistically transparent magnetic filaments: scaling laws, initial results and prospects for strong-field QED studies
Relativistic transparency enables volumetric laser interaction with overdense plasmas and direct laser acceleration of electrons to relativistic velocities. The dense electron current generates a magnetic filament with field strength of the order of the laser amplitude ($>$10$^5$ T). The magnetic filament traps the electrons radially, enabling efficient acceleration and conversion …
