Abstract

The advent of high-power ultra-short laser pulses opens up new frontiers of relativistic non-linear optics, high energy density physics and laboratory astrophysics. As the laser electric field in the particle rest frame approaches the Schwinger field Ecr=1.3×1018Vm-1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$E_{cr} = 1.3 \times 10^{18}\,\textrm{V} \textrm{m}^{-1}$$\end{document}, the laser interaction with matter enters into the quantum electrodynamics (QED) dominated regime, where extremely rich non-linear phenomena take place, such as a violent acceleration of charged particles, copious lepton pair production, and ultra-brilliant X/γ\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\gamma$$\end{document}-ray emission.
