Muon pairs production by laser driven relativistic electrons

We analyze $\mu^+ \mu^-$ pair production generated by high energy electrons, driven by the laser‐wakefield accelerator. We assume that the pairs are created in a solid high—Z target, following the plasma region. Numerical estimation is done for the electron beams obtained in LBL TW laser experiment [1], We found that the main contribution comes from the reactions induced by the secondary bremsstrahlung photons. According to estimation, 20 pC electron bunch with energy 1 GeV may create about 150 muon pairs. Produced $\mu$ mesons can be used in studying different aspects of neutrino and muon physics, and may be considered as an important step towards investigation of more complicated laser driven electron induced elementary processes.We analyze μ+μ− pair production generated by high energy electrons, driven by the laser‐wakefield accelerator.
