Electron-positron pairs and radioactive nuclei production by irradiation of high-Z target with γ-photon flash generated by an ultra-intense laser in the λ^{3} regime

This paper studies the interaction of laser-driven γ photons and high-energy charged particles with high-Z targets through Monte Carlo simulations. The interacting particles are taken from particle-in-cell simulations of the interaction of a tightly focused ultra-intense laser pulse with a titanium...
