Igor V. Sokolov, Natalia M. Naumova, John A. Nees
TL;DR
This paper reviews numerical methods for simulating laser-plasma interactions in regimes where radiation and quantum electrodynamics effects are significant, focusing on electron energy loss and radiation back-reaction.
Contribution
It provides a summary of numerical tools and methods specifically designed for modeling radiation-dominated and QED-strong laser-plasma interactions.
Findings
Electron energy loss due to gamma-photon emission is significant in ultra-strong laser fields.
Radiation back-reaction affects electron dynamics in intense laser pulses.
Numerical methods are essential for accurately simulating these extreme regimes.
Abstract
Ultra-strong laser pulses can be so intense that an electron in the focused beam loses significant energy due to gamma-photon emission while its motion deviates via the radiation back-reaction. Numerical methods and tools designed to simulate radiation-dominated and QED-strong laser-plasma interactions are summarized here.
