Strong-field quantum electrodynamics (SF QED) is a burgeoning research topic dealing with electromagnetic fields comparable to the Schwinger field (≈1.32×10^{18} V/m). While most past and proposed experiments rely on reaching this field in the rest frame of relativistic particles, the Schwinger limit could also be approached in the laboratory frame by focusing to its diffraction limit the light reflected by a plasma mirror irradiated by a multipetawatt laser.

- Researchers have created an advanced laser-plasma interaction platform that allows for the high-frequency observation of various emitted particles and radiation.
- This platform can measure high-order harmonics, relativistic electrons, and low divergence proton beams simultaneously.
- It enables detailed studies of how different interaction conditions (like pulse duration and plasma density) influence the properties of these particles and radiation, helping to better understand the complex dynamics involved.
