Théorique, numérique
The internship is part of an ongoing effort of investigating laser propagation and LPI in a magnetic field of tens of Tesla [4], both experimentally with high-power lasers worldwide, e.g., LULI2000 (FR) and TITAN (US); and numerically with fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations performed with the code SMILEI [5] and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with the code FLASH [7]. During the internship, the student will contribute to: - Experimental data analysis (e.g., laser propagation from HISAC diagnostics, the plasma condition characterization from Thomson scattering, et al.). - Numerical simulations for the laser propagation using FLASH and for the kinetic effects using SMILEI.
