Identifying the electron–positron cascade regimes in high-intensity laser-matter interactions
Strong-field quantum electrodynamics predicts electron-seeded electron–positron pair cascades when the electric field in the rest-frame of the seed electron approaches the Sauter–Schwinger field, i.e. $\eta ={E}_{{\rm{RF}}}/{E}_{S}\sim 1$ . Electrons in the focus of next generation multi-PW lasers a...
