Multiscale study of high energy attosecond pulse interaction with matter and application to proton-Boron fusion
X. Ribeyre, R. Capdessus, E. d'Humières +2
For several decades, the interest of the scientific community in aneutronic fusion reactions such as proton-Boron fusion has grown because of potential applications in different fi…
Laboratory evidence for proton energization by collisionless shock surfing
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +19
Charged particles can be accelerated to high energies by collisionless shock waves in astrophysical environments, such as supernova remnants. By interacting with the magnetized amb…
Over-critical sharp-gradient plasma slab produced by the collision of laser-induced blast-waves in a gas jet; Application to high-energy proton acceleration
J. -R. Marquès, P. Loiseau, J. Bonvalet +10
The generation of thin and high density plasma slabs at high repetition rate is a key issue for ultra-high intensity laser applications. We present a scheme to create such plasma s…
Synchrotron radiation from ultrahigh-intensity laser-plasma interactions and competition with Bremsstrahlung in thin foil targets
Bertrand Martinez, Emmanuel d'Humières, Laurent Gremillet
By means of particle-in-cell numerical simulations, we investigate the emission of high-energy photons in laser-plasma interactions under ultrahigh-intensity conditions relevant to…
Collimated gamma-ray beams from structured laser-irradiated targets -- how to increase the efficiency without increasing the laser intensity
O. Jansen, T. Wang, Z. Gong +5
Using three-dimensional kinetic simulations, we examine the emission of collimated gamma-ray beams from structured laser-irradiated targets with a pre-filled cylindrical channel. T…
High-Energy Radiation and Pair Production by Coulomb Processes in Particle-In-Cell Simulations
B. Martinez, M. Lobet, R. Duclous +2
We present a Monte Carlo implementation of the Bremsstrahlung, Bethe-Heitler and Coulomb Trident processes into the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation framework. In order to address…
