Figure 2. Three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation results.

Figure 2

Density distribution of electrons (a), γ photons (b) and positrons (c) at t=36T0. Both lasers enter the simulation box at t=0T0 and arrive at the open mouths of the double-cone-target at t=5T0. Two dense electron bunches are formed around the laser axis in the double-cone due to the radiation trapping effect, with high energy (∼5 GeV) and a high density (∼40 nc).
