Magnetized plasma
Magnetic fields, present in the interstellar medium and in fusion experiments, modify the properties of high energy density plasmas. Thanks to a magnetic field generator coupled to the laser facility, LULI is at the forefront of research on magnetized plasmas. The physics of magnetized plasmas of h…

Nuclear fusion: a historic breakthrough
In December 2022, scientists at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) announced a 'historic breakthrough' in nuclear fusion. They succeeded, for the first time, in releasing more energy from fusion reactions than was needed to cause them.Caterina Riconda, professor of physics at Sorbonne University'…

Nucleosynthesis
Stars synthesize atomic nuclei through complex processes. These are now studied in the laboratory using ultra-intense lasers.Principle: The processes of synthesis of atomic nuclei in stars are complex and multiple. For the lightest elements (up to iron), it is a succession of fusion reactions (prot…
