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, […]
New PLASMAScience graduate school at IP-Paris
New PLASMAScience graduate school at IP-Paris The French state’s Future Investment Program (PIA3) has awarded 4 million euros over 10 […]
Current filamentation instability probed by laser-plasma accelerated electrons in femtosecond relativistic laser-matter interactions
The Weibel-type current filamentation instability (CFI) has been extensively investigated in past decades owing to its importance in an increasing […]
Seeing inside a hot dense plasma
The most common state of observable matter in the universe is by far ionized particles, or plasmas. Thus, a profound […]
Laplace: a project for a laser-plasma acceleration center at LOA
Project LAPLACE is the next big step we propose to make at LOA: a laser-plasma acceleration center with two new […]
