Thesis
Plasma Mirrors: towards extreme intensity light sources and high-quality compact electron
Radiation-matter interactions
Numerical simulation
Research objectives:
expand the capabilities of the WarpX Partice-In-Cell code for lower cost-to-convergence using mesh refinement.
Devise a high-charge highquality injector for laser-plasma accelerators.
Determine feasibility of the proposed scheme on a 100-TW-class laser system.
The researcher will benefit from a large variety of training available at CEA on HPC and computer programming as well as training at our industrial partners (ARM, Eviden) and Université Paris Saclay. The activities will be carried out in the framework of the Marie Sklodowska Curie Action Doctoral Network EPACE (European compact accelerators, their applications, and entrepreneurship)
