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…
Investigating particle acceleration dynamics in interpenetrating magnetized collisionless super-critical shocks
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +9
Colliding collisionless shocks appear in a great variety of astrophysical phenomena and are thought to be possible sources of particle acceleration in the Universe. We have previou…
Particle energization in colliding subcritical collisionless shocks investigated in the laboratory
A. Fazzini, W. Yao, K. Burdonov +16
Colliding collisionless shocks appear in a great variety of astrophysical phenomena and are thought to be possible sources of particle acceleration in the Universe. To investigate…
Multiscale study of high energy attosecond pulse interaction with matter and application to proton-Boron fusion
X. Ribeyre, R. Capdessus, E. d'Humières +2
For several decades, the interest of the scientific community in aneutronic fusion reactions such as proton-Boron fusion has grown because of potential applications in different fi…
Gravitational influence of high power laser pulses
Paul Lageyre, Xavier Ribeyre, Emmanuel D'Humieres
The study of the generation of metric perturbation in the laboratory presents an opportunity to observe and understand more easily the mechanisms at work in gravitation. The presen…
Detailed characterization of laboratory magnetized super-critical collisionless shock and of the associated proton energization
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +19
Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous in the Universe and are held responsible for the production of non-thermal particles and high-energy radiation. In the absence of particle colli…
Electron-positron pair production in the collision of real photon beams with wide energy distributions
L Esnault, E d'Humières, A Arefiev +1
The creation of an electron-positron pair in the collision of two real photons, namely the linear Breit-Wheeler process, has never been detected directly in the laboratory since it…
Laboratory evidence for proton energization by collisionless shock surfing
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +19
Charged particles can be accelerated to high energies by collisionless shock waves in astrophysical environments, such as supernova remnants. By interacting with the magnetized amb…
Collimated gamma-ray beams from structured laser-irradiated targets -- how to increase the efficiency without increasing the laser intensity
O. Jansen, T. Wang, Z. Gong +5
Using three-dimensional kinetic simulations, we examine the emission of collimated gamma-ray beams from structured laser-irradiated targets with a pre-filled cylindrical channel. T…
Quasi-perpendicular fast magnetosonic shock with wave precursor in collisionless plasma
Q. Moreno, M. E. Dieckmann, X. Ribeyre +1
A one-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation tracks a fast magnetosonic shock over time scales comparable to an inverse ion gyrofrequency. The magnetic pressure is comparabl…

Quentin Moreno, Mark Eric Dieckmann, Xavier Ribeyre +3
The evolution of the Buneman and two-stream instabilities driven by a cold dilute mildly relativistic electron beam is studied as a function of the ion\'\s charge-to-mass ratio. Th…

The pair beaming in the Breit-Wheeler (BW) process is investigated. We examine the effect of the BW differential cross section on pair angular and energy distributions. Although, t…
High frequency gravitational waves generation in laser plasma interaction
Xavier Ribeyre, Vladimir Tikhonchuk
Estimates of the emitted power and the metric perturbation of the gravitational waves generated in laser plasma interaction are performed. The expected intensities are too low to b…
Tree Code for Collision Detection of Large Numbers of Particles Application for the Breit-Wheeler Process
Oliver Jansen, Emmanuel d'Humières, Xavier Ribeyre +2
Collision detection of a large number N of particles can be challenging. Directly testing N particles for collision among each other leads to N 2 queries. Especially in scenarios,…
