Monte Carlo calculations of pair production in high-intensity laser-plasma interactions

Gamma-ray and electron-positron pair production will figure prominently in laser-plasma experiments with next generation lasers. Using a Monte Carlo approach we show that straggling effects arising from the finite recoil an electron experiences when it emits a high-energy photon, increase the number...
