Generation of high-energy electron-positron pairs in the collision of a laser-accelerated electron beam with a multipetawatt laser
Generation of electron-positron pairs via the multiphoton Breit-Wheeler process in an all-optical scheme will be made possible on forthcoming high-power laser facilities through the collision of wakefield-accelerated GeV electrons with a counter-propagating laser pulse of 10^{22}–10^{23} W cm^{-2} p...
