Efficient ion acceleration by collective laser-driven electron dynamics with ultra-thin foil targets
S. Steinke, A. Henig, M. Schnürer +11
Experiments on ion acceleration by irradiation of ultra-thin diamond-like carbon (DLC) foils, with thicknesses well below the skin depth, irradiated with laser pulses of ultra-high…
Radiation Pressure Acceleration of Ion Beams Driven by Circularly Polarized Laser Pulses
A. Henig, S. Steinke, M. Schnürer +11
We present experimental studies on ion acceleration from ultra-thin diamond-like carbon (DLC) foils irradiated by ultra-high contrast laser pulses of energy 0.7 J focussed to peak…
Theory of laser ion acceleration from a foil target of nanometers
X. Q. Yan, T. Tajima, M. Hegelich +2
A theory for laser ion acceleration is presented to evaluate the maximum ion energy in the interaction of ultrahigh contrast (UHC) intense laser with a nanometer-scale foil. In thi…
Self-organizing GeV, nano-Coulomb, collimated proton beam from laser foil interaction at 7 * 10^21 W/cm2
X. Q. Yan, H. C. Wu, Z. M. Sheng +2
We report on a self-organizing, quasi-stable regime of laser proton acceleration, producing 1 GeV nano-Coulomb proton bunches from laser foil interaction at an intensity of 7*10^21…
