Laser acceleration of ion bunches at the front surface of overdense plasmas
Andrea Macchi, Federica Cattani, Tatiana V. Liseykina +1
The acceleration of ions in the interaction of high intensity laser pulses with overdense plasmas is investigated with particle-in-cell simulations. For circular polarization of th…

Two-surface wave decay: improved analytical theory and effects on electron acceleration
A. Macchi, M. Battaglini, F. Cattani +1
Two-surface wave decay (TSWD), i.e. the parametric excitation of electron surface waves, was recently proposed as an absorption mechanism in the interaction of ultrashort, intense…
