André Antonetti nous a quitté
André Antonetti nous a quitté ce lundi 13 avril 2020, emporté par le coronavirus, à l’âge de 88 ans. Le […]
Relativistic-intensity 1.5-cycle light waveforms at kHz repetition rate
The development of ultra-intense and ultra-short light sources is currently a subject of intense research driven by the discovery of […]
Structured Plasma Boosts X-Ray Flux
High-intensity sources of femtosecond x-ray pulses are a must-have tool for studying ultrafast processes. Unfortunately, only a handful of kilometer-long […]
Tunable high spatio-spectral purity undulator radiation from a transported laser plasma accelerated electron beam
Undulator based synchrotron light sources and free electron Lasers (feLs) are valuable modern probes of matter with high temporal and spatial […]
EPS Hannes Alfvén Prize 2019
The EPS Hannes Alfvén Prize 2019 for outstanding contributions to plasma physics is jointly awarded to: Professor Victor Malka, of […]
A laser-plasma tool to reduce the drag experienced by a supersonic objec
When a body moves in the atmosphere with a supersonic velocity, a shock wave is generated. This leads to a […]
G. Mourou Nobel prize of Physics 2018
Gérard Mourou is the co-inventor, joint work with Donna Strickland, of the Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) technique (thirty years ago). […]
Stable femtosecond X-rays
Technology based on high peak power lasers has the potential to provide compact and intense radiation sources for a wide […]
High rep rate laser-plasma accelerators
Laser–plasma acceleration is an emerging technique for accelerating electrons to high energies over very short distances. The accelerated electron bunches […]
