Energy enhancement of laser-driven ions by radiation reaction and Breit–Wheeler pair production in the ultra-relativistic transparency regime

The impact of radiation reaction and Breit–Wheeler pair production on the acceleration of fully ionized carbon ions driven by an intense linearly polarized laser pulse has been investigated in the ultra-relativistic transparency regime. Against initial expectations, the radiation reaction and pair p...
