Theory of the Laser Wake-Field Accelerator Revisited: Wake Overtaking, Localized Spectrum and Ponderomotive Acceleration
T. Esirkepov, S. V. Bulanov, M. Yamagiwa +1
The electron and positron acceleration in the first cycle of a laser-driven wakefield is investigated. Separatrices between different types of the particle motion (confined, reflec…

Generation of High Quality Laser Accelerated Ion Beams
T. Zh. Esirkepov, S. V. Bulanov, K. Nishihara +9
In order to achieve a high quality, i. e. monoergetic, intense ion beam, we propose the use of a double layer target. The first layer, at the target front, consists of high-Z atoms…
