Simultaneous PW-scale laser driven MeV X-ray and neutron beam characterization for dual probing capability

I. Cohen, W. Yao, N. Mirkovic +28

Laser-driven, high-brilliance secondary sources (electrons, ions, neutrons, X-rays) open new perspectives for compact material probing and imaging of high-speed events. A key advan…

Laboratory evidence of electron pressure anisotropy driving plasmoid mediated magnetic reconnection

A. Sladkov, T. Waltenspiel, H. Ahmed +8

Plasmoid-driven magnetic reconnection in elongated current sheets is suspected to be an ubiquitous phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas, but the mechanisms driving its ons…

Investigation of Laser Plasma Instabilities driven by Coupled High-Power Laser Beams in Magnetized Underdense Plasmas

C. L. C. Lacoste, D. Oportus, J. Béard +10

Stimulated Brillouin and Raman scattering (SBS and SRS) are instabilities that affect the propagation of high-power lasers in plasmas. The latter is further affected by Cross-Talk…

Efficient ion re-acceleration in laboratory-produced interpenetrating collisionless shocks

W. Yao, I. Cohen, P. Suarez Gerona +20

Although the origin of cosmic rays (CRs) remains an open question, collisionless magnetized shock waves are widely regarded as key sites for particle acceleration. Recent theories…

Saturation of the compression of two interacting magnetic flux tubes evidenced in the laboratory

A. Sladkov, C. Fegan, W. Yao +16

Interactions between magnetic fields advected by matter play a fundamental role in the Universe at a diverse range of scales. A crucial role these interactions play is in making tu…

Global Characterization of a Laser-Generated Neutron Source

D. P. Higginson, R. Lelièvre, L. Vassura +17

Laser-driven neutron sources are routinely produced by the interaction of laser-accelerated protons with a converter. They present complementary characteristics to those of convent…

A Comprehensive Characterization of the Neutron Fields Produced by the Apollon Petawatt Laser

Ronan Lelièvre, Weipeng Yao, Tessa Waltenspiel +13

Since two decades, laser-driven neutron emissions are studied as they represent a complementary source to conventional neutron sources, with further more different characteristics…

Dynamics of nanosecond laser pulse propagation and of associated instabilities in a magnetized underdense plasma

W. Yao, A. Higginson, J. -R. Marquès +19

The propagation and energy coupling of intense laser beams in plasmas are critical issues in laser-driven inertial confinement fusion. Applying magnetic fields to such a setup has…
