الوصف: Singularities in multi-stream flows of relativistic plasmas can efficiently produce coherent high-frequency radiation, as exemplified in the concepts of Relativistic Flying Mirror [S. V. Bulanov, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 085001 (2003)] and Burst Intensification by Singularity Emitting Radiation (BISER) [Pirozhkov, et al., Scientific Reports 7, 17968 (2017)]. Direct observation of these singularities is challenging due to their extreme sharpness (tens of nanometers), relativistic velocity, and transient non-local nature. We propose to use ultrafast (a few light cycles) optical probe for identifying relativistic plasma singularities. Our Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations show that this diagnostic is feasible.
