QED effects in laser-plasma interactions

<p>It is possible to reach the radiation-reaction–dominated regime in today’s high-intensity laser facilities, using the collision of a wakefield-accelerated GeV electron beam with a 30 fs laser pulse of intensity 10<sup>22</sup> Wcm<sup>-2</sup>. This would demonstrate...
