Description
The present PHD work aims at exploring theorically and numerically the generation of fast particle beams in ultra relativistic (abobve 1021 W/cm2) laser-overdense solid interaction by using properly-structured or shaped targets. Surface characteristics inducing local electromagnetic modes more intense than the laser field and where nonlinear and relativistic effects play a major role will be investigated. It may lead to groundbreaking ultra-short synchronized light and electron sources with applications in probing ultrafast electronic processes. In this context, this theoretical and numerical study will allow to suggest new experimental schemes feasible on the Apollon facility and multi-PW lasers.
