Current high intensity laser facilities can be used to reach the
regime in which electron trajectories are strongly modified by
the quantum equivalent of the radiation reaction force. We describe a
Monte-Carlo simulation of a set-up in this regime and present results in which GeV electrons counter-propagate into a 10^{22} W/sq cm laser pulse. These show that the stochastic nature of...

The next generation of laser facilities will make possible to
study electron-positron laser plasma arising due to electromagnetic cascades.
The cascade consists of
quantum electrodynamic effects of hard photon
emission and electron-positron pair creation.
A central problem in description of
plasma with quantum electrodynamic effects is the need for a proper model for radiation,...

During the next few years a number of new laser facilities are expected to come online (such as ELI and XCELS). These will provide fields of unprecedented powers and intensities, allowing us to explore a range of physics under extreme conditions. In this talk I intend to discuss both classical and quantum aspects of laser-particle interactions and the boundary between the two regimes. I...

High intensity laser- or particle beams excite large amplitude plasma waves when propagating in appropriate gas targets. The fields, carried by these plasma waves, can exceed 100 GV/m and are capable of accelerating particles to high energies within short distances. To design, advance and understand experiments, numerical investigations of the dynamics in such plasma accelerators are vital....
