CILEX
(Centre Interdisciplinaire Lumière Extrême) is the Interdisciplinary Center on EXtreme Light. This center will be based at l’Orme des
merisiers (France) and comprises three entities: i) the APOLLON laser which will deliver pulses at a still unreached instantaneous power of 10PW ii) the associated infrastructures and experimental set-up and iii) two 100TW class lasers, so-called “Satellite Facilities” (UHI100, LASERIX) allowing for an efficient preparation of experiments on APOLLON and the training of the scientists and engineers. |
Laboratoire de Physique des Gaz et des Plasmas

 |
The group ITFIP lead by B. Cros at LPGP
studies the interaction of Intense Beams with Plasmas, involving
experimental and theoretical activities related to laser driven electron
acceleration in plasmas. The group ITFIP develops intense laser guiding
in capillary tubes over long distances and has demonstrated the
excitation of up to 10GV/m accelerating fields over a 10 cm scale. The
group ITFIP is actively involved in the project of a multi-stage laser
plasma accelerator under development in the frame of CILEX and in the European design study EUPRAXIA. |

LULI is a research laboratory and large-scale laser facility devoted to laser-generated plasmas and applications. It operates two high-energy laser facilities coupling nanosecond and picosecond chains, ELFIE and LULI2000, and coordinates the development of APOLLON, a multi-PW femtosecond laser facility to be implemented in « Centre Interdisciplinaire Lumière Extrême » CILEX. Scientific domains adressed at LULI include laser inertial fusion, high-energy-density physics, laboratory astrophysics, planetary science, and intense sources of high-energy particles and radiation. |

The Accelerator Design and Development Laboratory (LEDA) brings together SACM* expertise and skills in the design, construction, and testing of systems used to produce, transport, and accelerate charged particle beams. LEDA embarked upon new acceleration techniques since a couple of years and contributes to the design of the plasma based electron acceleration experiment in the frame of CILEX, as beam matching, transport and diagnostics. The laboratory is currently strengthening its plasma acceleration skills, especially in the simulation by means of laser-plasma PIC 3D codes, coupled with accelerator beam dynamics codes.
* The Accelerators, Cryogenics & Magnetism Department (SACM) is part of the Institute of Research into the Fundamental Laws of the Universe (IRFU), of the CEA Physical Sciences Division (DSM). |
Centre de Physique Théorique (CPhT)

The Laser plasmas group studies all
theoretical aspects of the interaction of intense lasers with matter.
The skills of the group are both in analytical and in conventional or
non-conventional numerical approaches. One of its activities concerns
the theory of laser acceleration of charged particles (electrons,
protons, ions). It is involved in the laser plasma accelerator project
of CILEX.

Groupe d'Accélération par Laser et Ondes Plasma (GALOP, LLR, Ecole Polytechnique) The laser and plasma wave acceleration group GALOP of the lab Leprince-Ringuet (LLR) at Ecole Polytechnique aims at the development of LWFA in view of its application in high-energy physics. GALOP contributes to the coordination and realization of electron acceleration program in the long-focal area of the CILEX facility, the development of compact electron beam diagnostics, the exploitation and development of plasma simulation codes. GALOP also takes an active part in the EuroNNAC2 network and in the design study EuPRAXIA. |
