Relativistic Positron Creation Using Ultraintense Short Pulse Lasers
Abstract
We measure up to $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{10}$ positrons per steradian ejected out the back of $\ensuremath{\sim}\mathrm{mm}$ thick gold targets when illuminated with short ($\ensuremath{\sim}1\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{ps}$) ultraintense ($\ensuremath{\sim}1\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{20}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{W}/{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$) laser pulses. Positrons are produced predominately by the Bethe-Heitler process and have an effective temperature of 2--4 MeV, with the distribution peaking at 4--7 MeV. The angular distribution of the positrons is anisotropic. Modeling based on the measurements indicate the positron density to be $\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{16}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{\text{positrons}}/{\mathrm{cm}}^{3}$, the highest ever created in the laboratory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
