Quasistatic modeling of ultrarelativistic beam-plasma instabilities
P. San Miguel Claveria, L. Gremillet, X. Davoine +5
Relativistic particle beams propagating through dense ambient plasmas are susceptible to streaming instabilities that can govern the system dynamics in various astrophysical and la…
Modeling ultrarelativistic streaming plasma instabilities under the quasistatic approximation
P. San Miguel Claveria, Q. Labro, X. Davoine +5
Plasma streaming instabilities excited by relativistic charged particle beams play a pivotal role in astrophysical and laboratory environments. Their numerical study, however, is c…
Decoupling acceleration and wiggling in a laser-produced Betatron source
Julien Gautier, Igor Andriyash, Andreas Döpp +11
Betatron radiation is produced in Laser Plasma Accelerators when the electrons are accelerated and simultaneously wiggle across the propagation axis. The mechanisms of electron acc…
Compton photons at the GeV scale from self-aligned collisions with a plasma mirror
Aimé Matheron, Jean-Raphaël Marquès, Vincent Lelasseux +34
With today's multi-petawatt lasers, testing quantum electrodynamics (QED) in the strong field regime, where the electric field exceeds the Schwinger critical field in the rest fram…
