Chris Brady: Ultra-relativistic high-power laser plasma interactions

- Export as iCalendar
Location: PLT

Speaker: Chris Brady

The next generation of high-power lasers requires a step change in how laser-plasmas are modelled. Rather than being a fundamentally classical science based on Maxwell's equations and Newton's laws of motion, additional QED processes must be included. The most important process for impending laser systems (such as the EU funded Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) project) is inverse Compton scattering. The interaction of this effect with classical plasma physics leads to an interesting, novel type of plasma called a QED-plasma. This has properties different from both classical plasma physics and the simple single particle models conventional to QED studies. In this talk a background and motivation to the field is presented followed by an overview of the modelling techniques employed. Finally a few of the first results showing the interesting new properties of the QED-plasma regime will be presented.

UKRI Deadlines

Due to the implementation of a new UKRI funding system (TFS) there will be a fixed quarterly deadlines for some grants which would previously have been on open calls, this is to allow necessary system amendments and updates.

The first deadline after implementation will be 28th September 2023 and applies to those calls listed below:

EPSRC New Investigator Award

EPSRC Network Grant

EPSRC Post Doctoral Fellowship

EPSRC Open Fellowship

EPSRC Open Plus Fellowship

EPSRC Working with overseas scientists

EPSRC Standard research grant

EPSRC Discipline hopping in ICT

EPSRC Overseas travel grant
