Dense electron-positron plasmas and bursts of gamma-rays from laser-generated quantum electrodynamic plasmas
In simulations of a 12.5 PW laser (focussed intensity I = 4 × 10 23 Wcm - 2) striking a solid aluminum target, 10% of the laser energy is converted to gamma-rays. A dense electron-positron plasma is generated with a maximum density of 10 26 m - 3, seven orders of magnitude denser than pure e- e+ pla...
