Enhanced laser-driven proton acceleration via improved fast electron heating in a controlled pre-plasma

L. A. Gizzi, E. Boella, L. Labate +10

The interaction of ultraintense laser pulses with solids is largely affected by the plasma gradient at the vacuum-solid interface, which modifies the absorption and ultimately, con…
