Helical coil design with controlled dispersion for bunching enhancement of the TNSA protons
A Hirsch-Passicos, C L C Lacoste, F André +4
The quality of the proton beam produced by Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) with high power lasers can be significantly improved with the use of helical coils. While they s…
