The EURIZON project (Cremlin) aims to develop large-scale research infrastructures and the associated scientific and technical collaboration.
In the field of spatio-temporal metrology for ultra-intense lasers, particular emphasis has been placed on minimizing the number of laser shots required for complete beam characterization.
In the field of optical power components, the project has contributed to the development of a new technique using remarkable optical components called “plasma” mirrors, which will make it possible to increase the intensity of current power lasers by several orders of magnitude, with the aim of exploring new fundamental regimes of light-matter interaction (Quantum Electrodynamics in Strong Fields – QED).
Our simulations have also enabled us to identify the QED signatures – high-energy photons and relativistic beams of e-/e-pairs – expected when focusing these plasma-mirror-boosted lasers on matter.
