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 […]
Three new research projects funded at LOA
UnRIP: Uncovering Relativistic Instabilities in Plasmas (ANR collaborative research project) The LOA joins a collaboration with CEA and Institut […]
Cavity-free lasing of Nitrogen and laser gain without population inversion
The blue “air laser”, or more specifically the lasing emission at 391 nm from remotely excited ionized nitrogen molecules, has […]
Long term stability of a kHZ laser-plasma accelerator
Laser-plasma acceleration enables the generation and acceleration of electrons beams over very short distances due to extreme longitudinal accelerating fields, […]
