High-charge collimated and energy-selected laser-driven MeV electron beams produced by magnetic selection
I. Cohen, I. Slabu, Q. Peysson +16
We have developed a compact passive energy-selector for MeV-range electrons produced by irradiating solid targets by ultra-intense short-pulse lasers. The device allows for generat…
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…
Experimental evidence for coronal mass ejection suppression in strong stellar magnetic fields
S. N. Chen, K. Burdonov, W. Yao +10
Solar coronal mass ejections (CME) are routinely observed, but as of yet there exist few convincing detections of stellar CMEs. A reason for this could be the stronger magnetic fie…
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…
Experimental mitigation of fast magnetic reconnection in multiple interacting laser-produced plasmas
S. Bolaños, R. Smets, C. Courtois +11
The meeting of astrophysical plasmas and their magnetic fields creates many reconnection sites. We experimentally compare the reconnection rate of laser-driven magnetic reconnectio…
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…
