An online readout CMOS detector to measure ion spectra produced by high-repetition-rate high-power lasers
K. Burdonov, R. Lelievre, P. Forestier-Colleoni +5
We present the design and the absolute calibration of charged particle high-repetition-rate online readout CMOS system tailored for high-power laser experiments. This system equips…
Characterization and performance of the Apollon Short-Focal-Area facility following its commissioning at 1 PW level
K. Burdonov, A. Fazzini, V. Lelasseux +45
We present the results of the first commissioning phase of the ``short focal length'' area (SFA) of the Apollon laser facility (located in Saclay, France), which was performed with…
Non-equilibrium fluctuations of the direct cascade in Surface Quasi Geostrophic turbulence
V. J. Valadão, T. Ceccotti, G. Boffetta +1
We study the temporal fluctuations of the flux of surface potential energy in Surface Quasi-Geostrophic (SQG) turbulence. By means of high-resolution, direct numerical simulations…
Ion acceleration by an ultrashort laser pulse interacting with a near-critical-density gas jet
M. Ehret, C. Salgado-Lopez, V. Ospina-Bohorquez +28
We demonstrate laser-driven Helium ion acceleration with cut-off energies above 25 MeV and peaked ion number above /MeV for 22(2) MeV projectiles from near-critical density…
Laser-driven ion and electron acceleration from near-critical density gas targets: towards high-repetition rate operation in the 1 PW, sub-100 fs laser interaction regime
V. Ospina-Bohórquez, C. Salgado-López, M. Ehret +34
Ion acceleration from gaseous targets driven by relativistic-intensity lasers was demonstrated as early as the late 90s, yet most of the experiments conducted to date have involved…
Extreme high field plasmonics: electron acceleration and XUV harmonic generation from ultrashort surface plasmons
A. Macchi, G. Cantono, L. Fedeli +2
Experiments on the excitation of propagating surface plasmons (SPs) by ultrashort, high intensity laser interaction with "grating" targets are reviewed. At intensities exceeding $1…
Evidence of resonant surface wave excitation in the relativistic regime through measurements of proton acceleration from grating targets
T. Ceccotti, V. Floquet, A. Sgattoni +25
The interaction of laser pulses with thin grating targets, having a periodic groove at the irradiated surface, has been experimentally investigated. Ultrahigh contrast ($\sim 10^{1…
Calibration of the scintillation of cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystals irradiated by monoenergetic 4 MeV energy electrons
K. Burdonov, P. Forestier-Colleoni, J. -N. Cayla +8
This paper presents the results of measurements of fluorescing cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystals after being irradiated by an accelerated electron beam with energy of a…
