研究目的
Investigating the generation of ultrarelativistic polarized positrons during the interaction of an ultrarelativistic electron beam with a counterpropagating two-color petawatt laser pulse.
研究成果
The study demonstrates the feasibility of producing collimated and highly polarized ultrarelativistic positron beams using a two-color intense laser pulse. The polarization mechanism is primarily due to the spin asymmetry of the pair production process in strong external fields, combined with the asymmetry of the two-color laser field configuration. This method offers a promising alternative for generating polarized positron beams for high-energy physics studies.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and relies on simulations based on the local constant field approximation (LCFA), which may not fully capture all quantum effects in strong fields. The practical implementation of the proposed method requires ultrahigh-intensity lasers and precise control over the electron beam parameters.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a semiclassical Monte Carlo method to describe the electron (positron) spin-resolved dynamics in a strong laser field. Photon emission and pair production are simulated via spin-resolved quantum probabilities, derived with the QED operator method under the local constant field approximation (LCFA).
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
An intense two-color linearly polarized laser pulse interacts with a counterpropagating ultrarelativistic electron beam. The field consists of two copropagating laser pulses of λ1 = 1 μm and λ2 = 0.5 μm wavelengths.
3：5 μm wavelengths.

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: The setup includes a two-color petawatt laser pulse and an ultrarelativistic electron beam.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The interaction results in emission of γ photons in a forward direction which decay into polarized e+ and e?, with spin parallel and antiparallel to the laser’s magnetic field direction, respectively.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The study uses Monte Carlo simulations to analyze the spin-resolved dynamics of electrons and positrons during pair production and photon emission processes.
