Testing strong-field QED with the avalanche precursor
A. A. Mironov, S. S. Bulanov, A. Di Piazza +8
A two-beam high-power laser facility is essential for the study of one of the most captivating phenomena predicted by strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) and yet unobserved…
Experimental evidence of stimulated Raman re-scattering in laser-plasma interaction
J. -R. Marquès, F. Pérez, P. Loiseau +5
We present the first experimental evidence of stimulated Raman re-scattering of a laser in plasma: The scattered light produced by the Raman instability is intense enough to scatte…

Exploring quantum electrodynamics in the most extreme conditions, where electron-positron pairs can emerge in the presence of a strong background field, is now becoming possible in…
Photochemically-induced acousto-optics in gases
Pierre Michel, Livia Lancia, Albertine Oudin +6
Acousto-optics consists of launching acoustic waves in a medium (usually a crystal) in order to modulate its refractive index and create a tunable optical grating. In this article,…
Collisionless Shock Acceleration of protons in a plasma slab produced in a gas jet by the collision of two laser-driven hydrodynamic shockwaves
