Compton photons at the GeV scale from self-aligned collisions with a plasma mirror
Aimé Matheron, Jean-Raphaël Marquès, Vincent Lelasseux +34
With today's multi-petawatt lasers, testing quantum electrodynamics (QED) in the strong field regime, where the electric field exceeds the Schwinger critical field in the rest fram…
A "lighthouse" laser-driven staged proton accelerator allowing for ultrafast angular and spectral control
Vojtěch Horný, Konstantin Burdonov, Alice Fazzini +12
Compact laser-plasma acceleration of fast ions has made great strides since its discovery over two decades ago, resulting in the current generation of high-energy ($\geq 100\,\rm M…
Particle energization in colliding subcritical collisionless shocks investigated in the laboratory
A. Fazzini, W. Yao, K. Burdonov +16
Colliding collisionless shocks appear in a great variety of astrophysical phenomena and are thought to be possible sources of particle acceleration in the Universe. To investigate…
High-flux neutron generation by laser-accelerated ions from single- and double-layer targets
Vojtěch Horný, Sophia N. Chen, Xavier Davoine +3
Contemporary ultraintense, short-pulse laser systems provide extremely compact setups for the production of high-flux neutron beams, such as those required for nondestructive probi…
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…
Detailed characterization of laboratory magnetized super-critical collisionless shock and of the associated proton energization
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +19
Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous in the Universe and are held responsible for the production of non-thermal particles and high-energy radiation. In the absence of particle colli…
Laboratory evidence for proton energization by collisionless shock surfing
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +19
Charged particles can be accelerated to high energies by collisionless shock waves in astrophysical environments, such as supernova remnants. By interacting with the magnetized amb…
