Selective Deuterium Ion Acceleration Using the Vulcan PW Laser
AG Krygier, JT Morrison, S Kar +17
We report on the successful demonstration of selective acceleration of deuterium ions by target-normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) with a high-energy petawatt laser. TNSA typically…
Characterisation of deuterium spectra from laser driven multi-species sources by employing differentially filtered image plate detectors in Thomson spectrometers
A. Alejo, S. Kar, H. Ahmed +23
A novel method for characterising the full spectrum of deuteron ions emitted by laser driven multi-species ion sources is discussed. The procedure is based on using differential fi…
Scaling of laser-driven ion energies in the relativistic transparent regime
D. Jung, L. Yin, B. J. Albright +12
Laser-driven ions have compelling properties and their potential use for medical applications has attracted a huge global interest. One of the major challenges of these application…
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…
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…
