Probing and possible application of the QED vacuum with micro-bubble implosions induced by ultra-intense laser pulses

The interaction of micro-bubbles with ultra-intense laser pulses has been shown to generate ultra-high proton densities and correspondingly high electric fields. We investigate the possibility of using such a combination to study the fundamental physical phenomenon of v...
