Cedric Thaury du groupe PHI du SPAM a reçu le “Plasma Physics Division 2009 PhD Research Award” de la “Plasma Physics Division of the EPS”, pour ses travaux de thèse sur : “First principles study of effects in nonlinear laser–plasma interaction including high-order harmonic generation of intense laser light by reflection at a plasma mirror. Identification of a novel mechanism at lower laser power (‘Coherent Wake Emission’), as well as a clear characterisation of its properties and detailed comparison with the known ‘Relativistic Oscillating Mirror’ process occurring at higher power”. Félicitations pour cette distinction !
