Generation of GeV positron and γ-photon beams with controllable angular momentum by intense lasers

Although several laser–plasma-based methods have been proposed for generating energetic electrons, positrons and γ -photons, manipulation of their microstructures is still challenging, and their angular momentum control has not yet been achieved. Here, we present and numerically demonstrate an all-o...
