Collision of two radial rarefaction waves in unmagnetized ambient plasma: effects of the ambient plasma density
Margaux François, Mark E. Dieckmann, Lorenzo Romagnani +2
The expansion of two circular rarefaction waves in vacuum or in a thin ambient plasma is examined with particle-in-cell simulations that resolve two spatial dimensions. In the simu…
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…
Over-critical sharp-gradient plasma slab produced by the collision of laser-induced blast-waves in a gas jet; Application to high-energy proton acceleration
J. -R. Marquès, P. Loiseau, J. Bonvalet +10
The generation of thin and high density plasma slabs at high repetition rate is a key issue for ultra-high intensity laser applications. We present a scheme to create such plasma s…
Expansion of a radially symmetric blast shell into a uniformly magnetized plasma
M E Dieckmann, Q Moreno, D Doria +7
The expansion of a thermal pressure-driven radial blast shell into a dilute ambient plasma is examined with two-dimensional PIC simulations. The purpose is to determine if laminar…
General features of experiments on the dynamics of laser-driven electron-positron beams
J. R. Warwick, A. Alejo, T. Dzelzainis +14
The experimental study of the dynamics of neutral electron-positron beams is an emerging area of research, enabled by the recent results on the generation of this exotic state of m…
Expansion of a radial plasma blast shell into an ambient plasma
M E Dieckmann, D Doria, H Ahmed +6
The expansion of a radial blast shell into an ambient plasma is modeled with a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. The unmagnetized plasma consists of electrons and protons. The for…
