PIC simulations of regenerative cascading show a 45 GeV, 100 nC driver yields a 1.1 TeV, 0.12 nC electron bunch with 0.3% energy spread in two plasma stages totaling under 1 km.

abstract
We demonstrate the possibility of probing for the first time the fully nonperturbative regime of quantum electrodynamics. By using tightly compressed and focused electron beams in a 100 GeV-class particle collider, beamstrahlung radiation losses can be mitigated, allowing the particles to experience extreme electromagnetic fields. Three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations confirm the viability of this approach. The experimental forefront envisaged has the potential to establish a novel research field and to stimulate the development of a new theoretical methodology for this yet unexplored regime of strong-field quantum electrodynamics.

Heisenberg-Euler effective Lagrangian is recast as a dispersion integral with the quantum dilogarithm as kernel, its imaginary part given directly by the dilogarithm and its real part involving the modular dual.
Inhomogeneous background fields convert Borel poles in the effective action to branch points and introduce new ones, allowing resurgent extrapolation to recover non-perturbative information from perturbative input more accurately than WKB or locally constant approximations.
