Numerical simulations are an essential tool in plasma physics: they help us understand the dynamics of complex systems, interpret experimental results, and design novel radiation and particle sources. This is especially true in the high-intensity regime, where strong-field QED interactions affect, and are affected by, classical, collective plasma processes. In this talk I will give a tutorial...

41. Probing Strong-Field QED with Laser-Based Experiments

QED is often considered the most successful theory in physics, as it permits extremely precise predictions in the perturbative regime. In this tutorial talk, we will review experiments that focus coherent laser light into such small space-time volumes that a charged particle passing through the resulting photon density interacts with much more than just one photon, implying that conventional...
