摘要
超强激光与等离子体相互作用可以辐射出大量γ光子,γ光子再与激光场作用形成雪崩效应产生大量正电子,这个多光子过程称为BW过程(Breit-Wheeler)。当激光足够强时,BW过程是激光等离子体相互作用产生正电子的主要过程。获得高密度、高能量的正电子束有助于研究核聚变快点火、宇宙γ射线爆发、黑洞理论和正负电子对的波色-爱因斯坦凝聚。为了提高正电子束的密度和能量,本文使用EPOCH2D程序模拟了超强激光(10~(24)W/cm~2)与一种靶背为凹形的稀薄金等离子体靶作用产生正电子的过程,得到能量为20~180 MeV,最大密度1.9×10~(22)cm~(-3)的正电子束,最大密度比平板靶产生的正电子最大密度高1.5×10~(21)cm~(-3)。结果表明,超强激光将凹形靶背中电子排出,形成电荷分离场,电荷分离场对正电子汇聚,有利于提高正电子束密度。
Multi-gamma photons,produced by the interaction of Extreme power laser and plasma,can burst multi-positrons by interacting with laser field in turn through cascade.This multi-photon process is named BW process,which is the main process in producing positrons when the laser intensity is high enough.Positron beam with high density and energy can improve the study of fast ignition,gamma ray bursts in space,black holes as well as Ps Bose-Einstein condensate.To get high density and high energy positron beam,the interaction of extreme intensity laser and plasma target with hollow back was simulated with the EPOCH2 D code in this paper.Positron beam,with the max number density 1.9×10~(22)cm~(-3) and positron energy between 20-180 MeV,is 1.5×10~(21)cm~(-3) higher than that produced in the flat target in max number density.The field in the target's hollow back raises the positron number density.
