79. 150 Joules in 15 femtoseconds What would you do with a 10-PetaWatt laser ?

Sophia N. CHEN (LULI, École polytechnique, CNRS, CEA, UPMC, Palaiseau, France)

Poster session

The APOLLON-10P laser system is a Ti:Sa based laser that will deliver 150 J in 15 femtosecond pulses (10 PW); after focusing, intensities up to 2x1022 W/cm2 will be delivered to the experimentalists. This will allow reaching the so-called “ultra-relativistic regime” where both the electrons and ions are expected to be relativistic and thus allowing for the exploration of novel matter...

52. A Palmtop Synchrotron-like Radiation Source

Poster session

Synchrotron radiation sources are immensely useful tools for scientific researches and many practical applications. Currently, the state-of-the-art synchrotrons rely on conventional accelerators, where electrons are accelerated in a straight line and radiate in bending magnets or other insertion devices. However, these facilities are usually large and costly. Here, we propose a compact...

80. Amplification of short laser pulses by Stimulated Brillouin Backscattering

Poster session

Since high-power laser beams are needed as a driver for future laser plasma accelerators, there is an ongoing quest for novel techniques to obtain ever higher laser intensities. In this field of research, plasma amplification has drawn much attention. This approach benefits from the fact that a plasma can sustain much higher intensities than a solid state amplifier. In a plasma, energy can...

4. Interferometric measurement of electron density in plasma medium for laser wakefield acceleration

Dr Junghun Shin (Advanced Photonics Research Institute, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology)

Poster session

Recent interferometric measurement of electron density distribution of plasma driven by petawatt laser, which is important for studying laser wakefield acceleration process will be presented.

6. Muon-colliders by particle chirping

Prof. Gyoegy Vesztergombi (Wigner RCP)

15/10/2015, 17:15

Poster session

Abstracts Chirping is a frequently used expression in laser physics indicating separately amplifying different frequency components of the laser pulse. For muon collider we propose chirping in similar sense for particle beams creating distinct classes of particles and manipulating them specifically in order to provide possibility for creation aggregated united systems with peculiar...

56. Radiation damping effects in the interaction of cluster mediums with ultraintense laser fields

Dr Natsumi Iwata (ILE, Osaka University)

15/10/2015, 17:15

Poster session

With the recent development of ultrashort high power lasers, the intensity of laser light is reaching to the regime of $10^{22-24}\:{\rm W/cm}^{2}$. Such intense laser fields can accelerate electrons to relativistic velocities within a few laser cycle period which results high energy radiation emission from the accelerated electrons in the energy level of gamma-ray. Accordingly, damping of...

55. Universal mechanism of pulse shortening and implications for the LWFA in solids

Natalia Naumova (LOA, ENSTA ParisTech, CNRS, Ecole polytechnique, Université Paris-Saclay, 91762 Palaiseau, France)

15/10/2015, 17:15

Poster session

The fields to accelerate charged particles within the framework of the Laser Wake Field Acceleration scheme are created by the charge separation effect in the laser pulsed field. To intensify the field and boost the acceleration rate, one may increase the plasma density (say, toward the solid state density) as long as the charge separation in denser plasmas results in higher fields. However,...
