Description
Very strong electromagnetic fields can induce electron-positron pair creation predicted by quantum electrodynamics. A possible way to demonstrate it is via the multiphoton Breit-Wheeler process in strong laser fields. The challenge in this setup is to hold seed particles in the hot-spot region of the reaction. This method using radially polarised laser pulses to trap seed electrons is studied in M. Jirka and S. Bulanov, PRL 133 125001 (2024), where SMILEI is employed because it contains modules for all the considered physics. This poster details the simulations and methods, it also provides perspective for forthcoming studies.
