All-optical quasi-monoenergetic GeV positron bunch generation by twisted laser fields
The advent of petawatt lasers has reignited interest in the generation of positrons, since they could provide enough energy for practical applications. Here, an all-optical method for the generation of short, energetic positron beams are described numerically.
