Coulomb driven energy boost of heavy ions for laser plasma acceleration
J. Braenzel, A. A. Andreev, K. Platonov +4
An unprecedented increase of kinetic energy of laser accelerated heavy ions is demonstrated. Ultra thin gold foils have been irradiated by an ultra short laser pulse at an intensit…
Enhanced Proton Acceleration by an Ultrashort Laser Interaction with Structured Dynamic Plasma Targets
A. Zigler, S. Eisenman, M. Botton +14
We experimentally demonstrate a notably enhanced acceleration of protons to high energy by relatively modest ultrashort laser pulses and structured dynamical plasma targets. Realiz…
Dynamics of Nanometer-Scale Foil Targets Irradiated with Relativistically Intense Laser Pulses
R. Hörlein, S. Steinke, A. Henig +15
In this letter we report on an experimental study of high harmonic radiation generated in nanometer-scale foil targets irradiated under normal incidence. The experiments constitute…
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…
Transient electric fields in laser plasmas observed by proton streak deflectometry
T. Sokollik, M. Schnuerer, S. Ter-Avetisyan +9
A novel proton imaging technique was applied which allows a continuous temporal record of electric fields within a time window of several nanoseconds. This "proton streak deflectom…
