Characterization and performance of the Apollon short-focal-area facility following its commissioning at 1 PW level
We present the results of the first commissioning phase of the short-focal-length area of the Apollon laser facility (located in Saclay, France), which was performed with the first available laser beam (F2), scaled to a nominal power of 1 PW. Under the conditions that were tested, this beam delivere...
