Self-trapping and acceleration of ions in laser-driven relativistically transparent plasma

B. Liu, J. Meyer-ter-Vehn, H. Ruhl

Self-trapping and acceleration of ions in laser-driven relativistically transparent plasma are investigated with the help of particle-in-cell simulations. A theoretical model based…
