Transverse instability in the "light sail" ion acceleration
Y. Wan, I. A. Andriyash, W. Lu +2
Acceleration of ultrathin plasma foils by laser radiation pressure promises compact alternatives to the conventional ion accelerators. It was shown, that a major showstopper for su…

Staged laser acceleration of high quality protons from a tailored plasma
Y. Wan, I. A. Andriyash, J. F. Hua +5
A new scheme of proton acceleration from a laser-driven near-critical-density plasma is proposed. Plasma with a tailored density profile allows a two-stage acceleration of protons.…
