Laser-plasma proton acceleration with a combined gas-foil target
Dan Levy, Constantin Bernert, Martin Rehwald +10
Laser-plasma proton acceleration was investigated in the Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) regime using a novel gas-foil target. The target is designed for reaching higher l…

Proton beam quality enhancement by spectral phase control of a PW-class laser system
T. Ziegler, D. Albach, C. Bernert +24
We report on experimental investigations of proton acceleration from solid foils irradiated with PW-class laser-pulses, where highest proton cut-off energies were achieved for temp…

Spectral and spatial shaping of laser-driven proton beams using a pulsed high-field magnet beamline
Florian-Emanuel Brack, Florian Kroll, Lennart Gaus +17
Intense laser-driven proton pulses, inherently broadband and highly divergent, pose a challenge to established beamline concepts on the path to application-adapted irradiation fiel…
