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…

Laser-FLASH: radiobiology at high dose, ultra-high dose-rate, single pulse laser-driven proton source
A. Flacco, E. Bayart, C. Giaccaglia +12
Laser-driven proton sources have long been developed with an eye on their potential for medical application to radiation therapy. These sources are compact, versatile, and show pec…
