Laser acceleration up to black hole values and B-meson decay

Studies of laser produced pair production are followed up from early stages. Pair production by vacuum polarization was discussed with laser produced acceleration up to values similar to those at the surface of black holes leading to the discovery of a difference between Hawking and Unruh radiation. It was found that production of anti-hydrogen by this method is at least a million times more efficient than by present day accelerator technology. Another application of ultrahigh laser fields is to focus them into the collision area of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) to study the details of the B-meson decay. This also may allow us to detect more details about CP violation of Bs mesons and possible signs of new particles on the horizon. Lasers with picosecond pulses and exawatts of power are now becoming available which will be interesting for studying ultra-intense shock waves in astrophysics and resulting nuclear reactions.
