Invited Oral Presentation

We will review interesting advances we have been able to perform in the domain of laser-driven generation of proton and neutron beams, using the new ultra-high power Apollon laser facility (France)*. Thanks to the ability to tailor the ultra-short timescales of the temporal pedestal of the laser pulse, we have notably been able to accelerate protons in a “lighthouse” fashion, whereby the...
