Generation of high-energy electron-positron beams in the collision of a laser-accelerated electron beam and a multi-petawatt laser
Mathieu Lobet, Xavier Davoine, Emmanuel d'Humières +1
Generation of antimatter via the multiphoton Breit-Wheeler process in an all-optical scheme will be made possible on forthcoming high-power laser facilities through the collision o…
Weibel instability-mediated collisionless shocks in laser-irradiated dense plasmas:Prevailing role of the electrons in the turbulence generation
C. Ruyer, L. Gremillet, G. Bonnaud
We present a particle-in-cell simulation of the generation of a collisionless turbulent shock in a dense plasma driven by an ultra-high-intensity laser pulse. From the linear analy…
Nonlinear dynamics of the ion Weibel-filamentation instability: an analytical model for the evolution of the plasma and spectral properties
C. Ruyer, L. Gremillet, A. Debayle +1
We present a predictive model of the nonlinear phase of the Weibel instability induced by two symmetric, counter-streaming ion beams in the non-relativistic regime. This self-consi…
