Beamstrahlung considerations in laser-plasma-accelerator-based linear colliders

Beam-beam interaction constraints modify the basic plasma density scalings for a linear collider based on laser-plasma accelerators. In the quantum beamstrahlung regime, it is shown that operating at low plasma density increases beamstrahlung effects, owing to the higher bunch charge and longer bunc...
