All-Optical Radiation Reaction at
Abstract
By using full-scale 3D particle-in-cell simulations we show that the radiation reaction dominated regime can be reached in an all optical configuration through the collision of a ~1 GeV laser wakefield accelerated (LWFA) electron bunch with a counter propagating laser pulse. In this configuration radiation reaction significantly reduces the energy of the particle bunch, thus providing clear experimental signatures for the process with currently available lasers. We also show that the transition between classical and quantum radiation reaction could be investigated in the same configuration with laser intensities of 1024W/cm2.

FIG. 1: All-optical radiation reaction configuration. A moderate intensity laser is used to generate the laser wake-field where the electrons are self-injected and accelerated. A counter-propagating ultra high intensity laser pulse collides head-on with the energetic electron bunch in vacuum after it leaves the plasma.
