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…
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…
Characterization and performance of the Apollon main short-pulse laser beam following its commissioning at 2 PW level
Weipeng Yao, Ronan Lelièvre, Itamar Cohen +43
We present the results of the second commissioning phase of the short-focal-length area of the Apollon laser facility (located in Saclay, France), which was performed with the main…
Self-triggered strong-field QED collisions in laser-plasma interaction
Aimé Matheron, Igor Andriyash, Xavier Davoine +6
Exploring quantum electrodynamics in the most extreme conditions, where electron-positron pairs can emerge in the presence of a strong background field, is now becoming possible in…
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…
Laser Interactions with Gas Jets: EMP Emission and Nozzle Damage
Philip Wykeham Bradford, Valeria Ospina-Bohorquez, Michael Ehret +18
Understanding the physics of electromagnetic pulse emission and nozzle damage is critical for the long-term operation of laser experiments with gas targets, particularly at facilit…
