Laser-produced plasmas (LPPs) engulf exotic and complex conditions ranging in
temperature, density, pressure, magnetic and electric fields, charge states, charged particle …

Laser-wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) were proposed more than three decades ago, and
while they promise to deliver compact, high energy particle accelerators, they will also …

Ultra-intense MeV photon and neutron beams are indispensable tools in many research
fields such as nuclear, atomic and material science as well as in medical and biophysical …

Multi-GeV electron beams with energy up to 4.2 GeV, 6% rms energy spread, 6 pC charge,
and 0.3 mrad rms divergence have been produced from a 9-cm-long capillary discharge …

The field of laser-matter interaction traditionally deals with the response of atoms, molecules,
and plasmas to an external light wave. However, the recent sustained technological …

Laser-plasma accelerators of only a centimetre's length have produced nearly
monoenergetic electron bunches with energy as high as 1 GeV. Scaling these compact …

Brilliant X-and γ-ray sources with ultrashort duration are widely pursued in fundamental
science, industry and medicine. Compact femtosecond X-ray sources based on relativistic …

We propose a spectral Particle-In-Cell (PIC) algorithm that is based on the combination of a
Hankel transform and a Fourier transform. For physical problems that have close-to …

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 …

One of the major goals of research for laser-plasma accelerators is the realization of
compact sources of femtosecond X-rays,,. In particular, using the modest electron energies …
