Microcoulomb-level electron beam and multi-Joule hard X-rays driven by a high-efficiency laser-plasma accelerator
B. Mahieu, L. Ribotte, W. Cayzac +38
We report on the production of ultrahigh-charge relativistic electron beams and the development of a laser-wakefield acceleration platform at the LMJ facility. Making use of the ki…
Quasistatic modeling of ultrarelativistic beam-plasma instabilities
P. San Miguel Claveria, L. Gremillet, X. Davoine +5
Relativistic particle beams propagating through dense ambient plasmas are susceptible to streaming instabilities that can govern the system dynamics in various astrophysical and la…
Modeling ultrarelativistic streaming plasma instabilities under the quasistatic approximation
P. San Miguel Claveria, Q. Labro, X. Davoine +5
Plasma streaming instabilities excited by relativistic charged particle beams play a pivotal role in astrophysical and laboratory environments. Their numerical study, however, is c…
Simulating ultrarelativistic beam-plasma instabilities with a quasistatic particle-in-cell code
Q. Labro, X. Davoine, L. Gremillet +1
Quasistatic particle-in-cell (PIC) codes are increasingly employed to study laser or plasma wakefield accelerators. By decoupling the slow dynamics of the driver (a laser or ultrar…
