In this paper we discuss the dynamics of charged particles in high-intensity laser fields in the context of the Frenet-Serret formalism, which describes the intrinsic geometry of particle worldlines. We find approximate relations for the Frenet-Serret scalars and basis vectors relevant for high-intensity laser particle interactions. The onset of quantum effects relates to the curvature radius of classical trajectories being on the order of the Compton wavelength. The effects of classical radiation reaction are discussed, as well as the classical precession of the spin-polarization vector according to the Thomas-Bargman-Michel-Telegdi (T-BMT) equation. We comment on the derivation of the photon emission rate in strong-field QED beyond the locally constant field approximation, which is used in Monte Carlo simulations of quantum radiation reaction. Such a numerical simulation is presented for a possible experiment to distinguish between classical and quantum mechanical models of radiation reaction.

The dynamics of magnetic fields with amplitude of several tens of Megagauss, generated at both sides of a solid target irradiated with a high intensity (? 1019W/cm2) picosecond laser pulse, has been spatially and temporally resolved using a proton im
aging technique. The amplitude of the magnetic fields is sufficiently large to have a constraining effect on the radial expansion of the plasma sheath at the target surfaces. These results, supported by numerical simulations and simple analytical modeling, may have implications for ion acceleration driven by the plasma sheath at the rear side of the target as well as for the laboratory study of self-collimated high-energy plasma jets.
Multi MeV protons cite{snavely2000intense} and heavier ions are emitted by thin foils irradiated by high-intensity lasers, due to the huge accelerating fields, up to several teraelectronvolt per meter, at sub-picosecond timescale cite{dubois2014targe
t}. The evolution of these huge fields is not well understood till today. Here we report, for the first time, direct and temporally resolved measurements of the electric fields produced by the interaction of a short-pulse high-intensity laser with solid targets. The results, obtained with a sub-$100$ fs temporal diagnostics, show that such fields build-up in few hundreds of femtoseconds and lasts after several picoseconds.
Scattering of ultraintense short laser pulses off relativistic electrons allows one to generate a large number of X- or $gamma$-ray photons with the expense of the spectral width---temporal pulsing of the laser inevitable leads to considerable spectr
al broadening. In this Letter, we describe a simple method to generate optimized laser pulses that compensate the nonlinear spectrum broadening, and can be thought of as a superposition of two oppositely linearly chirped pulses delayed with respect to each other. We develop a simple analytical model that allow us to predict the optimal parameters of such a two-pulse---the delay, amount of chirp and relative phase---for generation of a narrowband {gamma}-ray spectrum. Our predictions are confirmed by numerical optimization and simulations including 3D effects.
The dynamics of energetic particles in strong electromagnetic fields can be heavily influenced by the energy loss arising from the emission of radiation during acceleration, known as radiation reaction. When interacting with a high-energy electron be
am, todays lasers are sufficiently intense to explore the transition between the classical and quantum radiation reaction regimes. We report on the observation of radiation reaction in the collision of an ultra-relativistic electron beam generated by laser wakefield acceleration ($varepsilon > 500$ MeV) with an intense laser pulse ($a_0 > 10$). We measure an energy loss in the post-collision electron spectrum that is correlated with the detected signal of hard photons ($gamma$-rays), consistent with a quantum (stochastic) description of radiation reaction. The generated $gamma$-rays have the highest energies yet reported from an all-optical inverse Compton scattering scheme, with critical energy $varepsilon_{rm crit} > $ 30 MeV.
Interaction of an electron with the counter-propagating electromagnetic wave is studied theoretically and with the particle-in-cell simulations in the regime of quantum radiation reaction. We find the electron energy in the center of the laser pulse,
as it is a key factor for testing the non-linear quantum electrodynamics vacuum properties in the laser-electron collision in the regime of multi-photon Compton scattering and vacuum Cherenkov radiation. With multiparametric analysis we provide the conditions on electron initial energy for reaching the center of the laser pulse and emitting Cherenkov photons.
