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…

Theory of laser ion acceleration from a foil target of nanometers
X. Q. Yan, T. Tajima, M. Hegelich +2
A theory for laser ion acceleration is presented to evaluate the maximum ion energy in the interaction of ultrahigh contrast (UHC) intense laser with a nanometer-scale foil. In thi…
