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

Abstract:: 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 of pairs produced on further interaction with the laser fields. © 2011 IOP Publishing Ltd.
