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…

Optimizing laser coupling, matter heating, and particle acceleration from solids using multiplexed ultraintense lasers
Weipeng Yao, Motoaki Nakatsutsumi, Sébastien Buffechoux +20
Realizing the full potential of ultrahigh-intensity lasers for particle and radiation generation will require multi-beam arrangements due to technology limitations. Here, we invest…
