英文摘要 | when extremely intense lasers (i >= 10(22) w/cm(2)) interact with plasmas, a significant fraction of the pulse energy is converted into photon emission in the multi-mev energy range. this emission results in a radiation reaction (rr) force on electrons, which becomes important at ultrahigh intensities. using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations which include a quantum electrodynamics model for the gamma-photons emission, the corresponding rr force and electron-positron pair creation, the energy partition in the laser-plasma system is investigated. at sufficiently high laser amplitudes, the fraction of laser energy coupled to electrons decreases, while the energy converted to gamma-photons increases. the interaction becomes an efficient source of gamma-rays when i > 10(24) w/cm(2), with up to 40% of the laser energy converted to high-energy photons. a systematic study of energy partition and gamma-photon emission angle shows the influence of laser intensity and polarization for two plasma conditions: high-density carbon targets and a low-density hydrogen targets. we find that in the opaque region, the laser-to-photon conversion efficiency scales as i-0(3/2) for linearly polarized and i-0(2-2.5) for circularly polarized lasers, respectively. in the relativistically transparent regime, the power-laws merge into i-0(1/2) for both polarizations and photon emission peaks in the forward direction with a relatively small divergence angle (<20 degrees), resulting in a collimated gamma-ray beam.
