Enhanced laser-driven proton acceleration with gas-foil targets
Dan Levy, Xavier Davoine, Arnaud Debayle +2
We study numerically the mechanisms of proton acceleration in gas-foil targets driven by an ultraintense femtosecond laser pulse. The target consists of a near-critical-density hyd…

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…
