The primary aim of experimental nuclear astrophysics is to determine the rates of nuclear
reactions taking place in stars in various astrophysical conditions. These reaction rates are …

Abstract The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) has selected in
2006 a proposal based on ultra-intense laser fields with intensities reaching up to 10 22–10 …

In this paper, we present the generalities of the Compton interaction process; we analyse the
different paradigms of Inverse Compton Sources, implemented or in commissioning phase …

We present an all-laser-driven, energy-tunable, and quasimonochromatic x-ray source
based on Thomson scattering from laser-wakefield-accelerated electrons. One part of the …

We report the demonstration of a diode-pumped Tm: YLF laser operating at 1.88 µm that
produces pulse energies up to 3.88 J in 20 ns. The compact system consists of a Q-switched …

Positron sources are the key elements for the future and current lepton collider projects such
as ILC, CLIC, SuperKEKB, FCC-ee, Muon Collider/LEMMA, etc., introducing challenging …

ThomX is a new generation Compact Compton Source. It is currently commissioned by and
at the IJCLab (Laboratoire de physique des 2 infinis-Irène Joliot-Curie (UMR9012)) at Orsay …

A conceptual design is presented of a novel energy-recovering linac (ERL) facility for the
development and application of the energy recovery technique to linear electron …

The machine described in this document is an advanced Source of up to 20 MeV Gamma
Rays based on Compton back-scattering, ie collision of an intense high power laser beam …

The development of high power lasers and the combination of such novel devices with
accelerator technology has enlarged the science reach of many research fields, in particular …
