Highlights
Light-matter interaction close to Schwinger’s critical threshold
What happens when the amplitude of a light field approaches the Schwinger critical field of 1018 V/m, or an energy of 1029 W/cm2, which is the threshold for generating an electron-positron pair in a vacuum? Close to this limit, Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) – the theory of light-matter interaction – predicts that a beam of light…

ANR FemtoDose Project (2022-2026)
Nanocoulomb femtosecond laser plasma gas pedals with plasma mirror injectors: high doses at very high dose rates In-vivo experiments have shown that healthy tissue (vs. diseased tissue) is much less sensitive to ionizing radiation when delivered in short pulses. This high-dose-rate radiotherapy (RT), also known as RT-FLASH, opens the way to highly innovative new medical…

EURO-LABS (WP5) project (2022-2026)
The EURO-LABS project aims to bring together 3 research communities in nuclear physics, gas pedal technologies and detectors for high-energy physics to address fundamental questions and technological challenges, through projects with a broad societal impact, promoting the sharing of knowledge between different scientific fields and strengthening Europe’s potential to successfully meet future challenges. The PHI…

MultiScan 3D project (2021-2025)
The European Multiscan 3D project aims to improve the control of illicit materials, particularly in shipping containers, using a 3D imaging technique based on X-ray tomography generated by braking radiation emitted by electrons created and accelerated by intense femtosecond laser beams. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation…
