Abstract:
The self-consistent dynamics of an electron-positron plasma, which is formed during the generation of quantum-electrodynamic cascades, in a superstrong field of counterpropagating linearly polarized waves is examined. It is shown that the formation of thin (on a wavelength scale) current sheets which generate quasistatic magnetic fields comparable to the corresponding fields of incident waves plays an important role in the dynamics of a cascade for fields above a certain threshold. The fraction of the laser energy transformed into the energy of quasistatic magnetic fields can exceed 20%.
