Collimated GeV attosecond electron–positron bunches from a plasma channel driven by 10 PW lasers

High-energy positrons and bright γ-ray sources are of great importance both in fundamental research and for practical applications. However, collimated GeV electron–positron pair jets and γ-ray flashes are still rarely produced in the laboratory. Here, we demonstrate that by irradiating a near-criti...
