Plasma mirrors as a path to the Schwinger limit
L. Chopineau, A. Denoeud, A. Leblanc +4
Reaching light intensities above W/cm and up to the Schwinger limit ( W/cm) would enable testing decades-old fundamental predictions of Quantum Elect…

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…
