[ pdf ] If it's not Dark, it doesn't Matter:

Report in english about some work on the WIMPs experiment done at the CfPA of Berkeley under the supervision of Prof. B. Sadoulet.

[ pdf ] L'effet Hall Quantifié:

[ pdf ] Étude du comportement chaotique d'un laser à fibre:

Report on an experimental work on the chaotic behaviour of fibre laser. With an analysis of the topological nature of the attractor with knot theory. Work done at the LSE of Lille in the laboratory of Prof. P. Glorieux.
Related to this work Marc Lefranc has written a book The Topology of Chaos: Alice in Stretch and Squeezeland where they detail the "[t]opological analysis is about extracting from chaotic data the topological signatures that determine the stretching and squeezing mechanisms which act on flows in phase space and are responsible for generating chaotic behavior."
