Description

Laser-generated muons have been indirectly measured in 2025 and additional experimental campaigns have confirmed them directly, at ELI-NP, at the 10 PW laser. In order to fully describe the muon beams obtained from the interaction of high-energy electron (accelerated via laser-wakefield interaction) with solid targets, along with the background of other types of particles, we have developed full GEANT4 simulations that take into account all the complete experimental set-up.
The staring point of the simulations is the experimentally-measured electron spectra, and the results support measurements performed at the ELI-NP 10 PW laser beam.
