Description

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are transient and fast (millisecond) episodes of very strong and coherent radio emission. The origin of FRBs is still unknown. In one case, the counterpart in X rays has been identified as a magnetar. We present a scenario where coherent emission is produced in the magnetosphere of a neutron star, when two different outflows from the magnetar interact: a baryon-loaded expanding plasma and an electron positron beam. We want to test, through a controlled laser-plasma experiment, the emission of coherent radio pulses via the interaction of a leptonic beam with cavitons.
