Saturation of the asymmetric current filamentation instability under conditions relevant to relativistic shock precursors
Virginia Bresci, Laurent Gremillet, Martin Lemoine
The current filamentation instability, which generically arises in the counterstreaming of supersonic plasma flows, is known for its ability to convert the free energy associated w…
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…
Numerical investigation of spallation neutrons generated from petawatt-scale laser-driven proton beams
B. Martinez, S. N. Chen, S. Bolaños +15
Due to their high cost of acquisition and operation, there are still a limited number of high-yield, high-flux neutron source facilities worldwide. In this context, laser-driven ne…
Spatiotemporal dynamics of ultrarelativistic beam-plasma instabilities
P. San Miguel Claveria, X. Davoine, J. R. Peterson +28
An electron or electron-positron beam streaming through a plasma is notoriously prone to micro-instabilities. For a dilute ultrarelativistic infinite beam, the dominant instability…
