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…
