3D imaging with micrometer resolution of nanoparticles in cancer metastases
Radiotherapy treatment of cancer can be enhanced using injected nano-particles that accumulate inside the cancerous cells. This method currently moves…
First second harmonic generation of a XUV laser
Two photons with the same frequency can interact in a material to combine to a new photon of twice the…
Radiobiology with laser-accelerated electron bunches
The FLASH effect in radiotherapy is the fact that radiotoxicity for healthy tissues is reduced by delivering a therapeutic radiation…
Davide Boschetto and quantum technologies at LOA
The French quantum plan announced at the beginning of the year is also echoed at LOA, where the APPLI and…
Self-focusing and dense gamma rays in electron beam-multifoil collisions
When a highly compressed and focused electron beam collides with a solid-density plasma, electromagnetic fields associated to the near field…
The Laser lightning Rod project
Lightning is highly destructive due to its high-power density and unpredictable character. Directing lightning away would allow to protect sensitive…
Strongly boosted energy and flux of LOA’s betatron x-ray source
Betatron x-ray sources from laser-plasma accelerators reproduce the principle of a synchrotron at the millimeter scale. X-rays are produced by…
Less divergent vacuum-laser-accelerated electron beams with a radially polarized laser
Intense lasers carry the highest electric fields that can be obtained in the laboratory (higher than 10 TV/m). In principle,…
