Radiatively trapped e^{±} pair plasma as a laser-to-γ photon converter

An energy equilibrium arises when an electron-positron pair plasma is generated by the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler interaction of a γ-ray bunch with laser photons and becomes radiatively confined. Ordinarily, ponderomotive scattering prevents leptons from accessing the high-field regions where quantum e...
