Improved ion bunch quality of conical target irradiated by ultra-intense and ultra-short laser

Wan-Qing Su, Xi-Guang Cao, Chun-Wang Ma +7

We conduct particle-in-cell simulations to estimate the effects of circularly and linearly polarized SEL 100 PW lasers on flat Th targets with thicknesses of 50 nm, 100 nm and 250…
