This report presents the conceptual design of a new European research infrastructure
EuPRAXIA. The concept has been established over the last four years in a unique …

This review article highlights the tremendous evolution of the research on laser plasma
accelerators which has, in record time, led to the production of high quality electron beams …

Particle accelerators driven by the interaction of ultraintense and ultrashort laser pulses with
a plasma can generate accelerating electric fields of several hundred gigavolts per metre …

Protontherapy is a well‐established approach to treat cancer due to the favorable ballistic
properties of proton beams. Nevertheless, this treatment is today only possible with large …

We present a technique for simultaneous focusing and energy selection of high-current,
mega–electron volt proton beams with the use of radial, transient electric fields (107 to 1010 …

A new Particle-in-Cell code developed for the modelling of laser–plasma interaction is
presented. The code solves Maxwell equations using Fourier expansion along the poloidal …

We report on simultaneous measurements of backward-and forward-accelerated protons
spectra when an ultrahigh intensity (<? format?>∼<? format?> 5× 10 18 W/cm 2), ultrahigh …

Interaction of high-intensity laser pulses with solid targets results in generation of large
quantities of energetic electrons that are the origin of various effects such as intense x-ray …

This review aims at providing an up-to-date status and a general introduction to the subject
of the numerical study of energetic particle acceleration and transport in turbulent …

The interaction of short and intense laser pulses with plasmas or solids is a very efficient
source of high-energy ions. This paper reports the detailed study, with particle-in-cell …
