Dimuon production by laser-wakefield accelerated electrons
We analyze μ^{+}μ^{-} pair production generated by high-energy electrons emerging from a laser-wakefield accelerator. The μ^{+}μ^{-} pairs are created in a solid thick high-Z target, following the electron accelerating plasma region. Numerical estimates are presented for 1 to 10 GeV electron beams w...
