Conceptual Design Report for the LUXE Experiment
Halina Abramowicz, Uwe Hernandez Acosta, Massimo Altarelli +88
This Conceptual Design Report describes LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an experimental campaign that aims to combine the high-quality and high-energy electron beam of the Europe…
Spectrally-resolved point-spread-function engineering using a complex medium
Antoine Boniface, Mickaël Mounaix, Baptiste Blochet +3
Propagation of an ultrashort pulse of light through strongly scattering media generates an intricate spatio-spectral speckle that can be described by means of the multi-spectral tr…
Identification of coupling mechanisms between ultraintense laser light and dense plasmas
L. Chopineau, A. Leblanc, G. Blaclard +7
The interaction of intense laser beams with plasmas created on solid targets involves a rich non-linear physics. Because such dense plasmas are reflective for laser light, the coup…
Optical control of the topology of laser-plasma accelerators
J. Vieira, J. T. Mendonça, F. Quéré
We propose a twisted plasma accelerator capable of generating relativistic electron vortex beams with helical current profiles. The angular momentum of these vortex bunches is quan…
Controlling the velocity of ultrashort light pulses in vacuum through spatio-temporal couplings
Antonin Sainte-Marie, Olivier Gobert, Fabien Quere
Due to their broad spectral width, ultrashort lasers provide new possibilities to shape light beams and control their properties, in particular through the use of spatio-temporal c…
