Ultrafast opacity in borosilicate glass induced by picosecond bursts of laser-driven ions
B. Dromey, L. Stella, D. Adams +22
Direct investigation of ion-induced dynamics in matter on picosecond (ps, 10-12 s) timescales has been precluded to date by the relatively long nanosecond (ns, 10-9 s) scale ion pu…

160 MeV laser-accelerated protons from CH2 nano-targets for proton cancer therapy
B. M. Hegelich, D. Jung, B. J. Albright +11
Proton (and ion) cancer therapy has proven to be an extremely effective even supe-rior method of treatment for some tumors 1-4. A major problem, however, lies in the cost of the pa…

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…
