Electron acceleration by laser plasma wedge interaction
S. Marini, P. S. Kleij, M. Grech +2
A new electron acceleration mechanism is identified that develops when a relativistically intense laser irradiates the wedge of an over-dense plasma. This induces a diffracted elec…
Key parameters for surface plasma wave excitation in the ultra-high intensity regime
S. Marini, P. S. Kleij, F. Amiranoff +3
Ultra-short high-power lasers can deliver extreme light intensities ( W/cm and s) and drive large amplitude Surface Plasma Wave (SPW) at over-dense plas…
Impact of the laser spatio-temporal shape on Breit-Wheeler pair production
A. Mercuri-Baron, M. Grech, F. Niel +4
The forthcoming generation of multi-petawatt lasers opens the way to abundant pair production by the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process, i.e., the decay of a photon into an electron-p…
Numerical study of Langmuir wave coalescence in laser-plasma interaction
F. Pérez, F. Amiranoff, C. Briand +7
Type-III-burst radio signals can be mimicked in the laboratory via laser-plasma interaction. Instead of an electron beam generating Langmuir waves (LW) in the interplanetary medium…
Ultrashort high energy electron bunches from tunable surface plasma waves driven with laser wavefront rotation
S. Marini, P. S. Kleij, F. Pisani +5
We propose to use ultra-high intensity laser pulses with wavefront rotation (WFR) to produce short, ultra-intense surface plasma waves (SPW) on grating targets for electron acceler…
A laser-plasma interaction experiment for solar burst studies
J. -R. Marquès, C. Briand, F. Amiranoff +7
A new experimental platform based on laser-plasma interaction is proposed to explore the fundamental processes of wave coupling at the origin of interplanetary radio emissions. It…
