Femtosecond soft X-ray lasing in dense collisionaly-pumped plasma
Seeded collisional plasma-based soft X-ray lasers (SXRLs) are table-top sources able to provide energetic pulses with excellent spatial properties. However,…
High-harmonics and correlated electron emission from relativistic plasma mirrors at 1 kHz repetition rate
The PCO-group has published a collection of experimental results that provide clear evidence for the first observation of relativistic surface…
Hamed Merdji and Marta Fajardo recognised for their research collaboration
We warmly congratulate our colleague Hamed Merdji, who recently joined the FLUX group, to whom the French Academy of Sciences…
High-quality GeV electron beams from an all-optical plasma waveguide
Laser-plasma accelerators produce and operate extremely strong electric fields, which may allow challenging the conventional kilometers-long particle accelerators. Despite this…
Carrier-envelope phase effects in Laser-wakefield acceleration
Laser-wakefield acceleration lets us build very compact particle accelerators that have applications in particle physics, solid state physics and medicine….
