Description

The SPL group of the LOA develops new technology to compact particle accelerators based on the properties of plasma to support intense electric fields of the order of TV / m. The control of the physics of the interaction of a laser pulse with a target in the relativistic regime has produced beams of particles to very interesting properties. The group is therefore concerned with the fundamental physics of the interaction, generating particle beams (electrons and ions) and applications of these beams (medical, chemistry, biology and materials). These particle beams could also allow to study new phenomena on ultra-short (30 fs) time scales.
