The GEKKO-EXA project[1] was revised depending on the domestic user’s demand. Here presented is a revised proposal for the GEKKO-EXA project. The project is aiming at the investigation of the physics under the intense laser field up to 10^24 W/cm^2.
As for the future application of the intensity laser, the intensity of 10^23W/cm^2 is one of the mile stone to be overcome since, in the region...

The ALPS-II experiment at DESY combines expertise from cw-laser
precision setups with low-flux photon detectors
and high-field superconducting magnets to search for low-mass,
weakly-interacting particles (WISPs) such as axion-like particles. After a brief introduction to the scientific goals of the three ALPS-II
stages, I will review the crucial components of the setup,
and comment on...

The photoproduction of vector mesons in Ultra-Peripheral Collisions (UPC) is a powerfull tool to probe the nuclear gluon-distribution, for which there is considerable uncertainty in the low-x region. We present the first measurements in Pb-Pb collisions at √s_NN = 2.76 TeV, performed with the ALICE detector. The J/ψ is identified via its dimuon decay in the forward rapidity region and via...

Future linear colliders will collide dense charge bunches generating
very intense electromagnetic fields at the IP, often approaching or even exceeding the Schwinger critical field in the rest frame of the
ultrarelativistic colliding particles. These strong fields affect all the processes happening at the IP, in particular, at 1st order, beamstrahlung and coherent pair production.
The dense...

The classical description of synchrotron radiation fails at large Lorentz factors for relativistic electrons crossing strong transverse magnetic fields. When the Lorentz factor times the magnetic field is comparable to the so-called critical field of 4.4 GT, quantum corrections are essential for the description of synchrotron radiation. The radiation emission drastically changes character; not...
