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…
Highly-efficient electron ponderomotive acceleration in underdense plasmas
Lorenzo Martelli, Olena Kononenko, Igor Andriyash +16
Laser-plasma accelerators represent a promising technology for future compact accelerating systems, enabling the acceleration of tens of pC to above GeV over just a few centim…
Simple few-shot method for spectrally resolving the wavefront of an ultrashort laser pulse
Slava Smartsev, Aaron Liberman, Igor A. Andriyash +10
We present a novel and straightforward approach for the spatio-spectral characterization of ultrashort pulses. This minimally intrusive method relies on placing a mask with special…
Simultaneous generation and detection of energetic particle and radiation beams from relativistic plasma mirrors driven at kHz repetition rate
Jaismeen Kaur, Marie Ouillé, Dan Levy +8
We report on the first simultaneous measurement of high-order harmonics, relativistic electrons and low divergence proton beams generated from plasma mirrors driven at kHz repetiti…
Low divergence proton beams from a laser-plasma accelerator at kHz repetition rate
Dan Levy, Igor A. Andriyash, Stefan Haessler +6
Proton beams with up to 100 pC bunch charge, 0.48 MeV cut-off energy and divergence as low as a were generated from solid targets at kHz repetition rate by a few-mJ fem…
Dosimetric characterisation and application to radiation biology of a kHz laser-driven electron beam
Marco Cavallone, Lucas Rovige, Julius Huijts +8
Laser-plasma accelerators can produce ultra short electron bunches in the femtosecond to picosecond duration range, resulting in high peak dose rates in comparison with clinical ac…
Shaping of a laser-accelerated proton beam for radiobiology applications via genetic algorithm
Marco Cavallone, Alessandro Flacco, Victor Malka
Laser-accelerated protons have a great potential for innovative experiments in radiation biology due to the sub-picosecond pulse duration and high dose rate achievable. However, th…
Persistence of magnetic field driven by relativistic electrons in a plasma
A. Flacco, J. Vieira, A. Lifschitz +5
The onset and evolution of magnetic fields in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas is determined by several mechanisms, including instabilities, dynamo effects and ultra-high energ…
Short Intense Laser Pulse Collapse in Near-Critical Plasma
F. Sylla, A. Flacco, S. Kahaly +5
It is observed that the interaction of an intense ultra-short laser pulse with an overdense gas jet results in the pulse collapse and the deposition of a significant part of energy…
Anticorrelation between Ion Acceleration and Nonlinear Coherent Structures from Laser-Underdense Plasma Interaction
F. Sylla, A. Flacco, S. Kahaly +5
In laser-plasma experiments, we observed that ion acceleration from the Coulomb explosion of the plasma channel bored by the laser, is prevented when multiple plasma instabilities…
