Issues in Radiation Pressure Acceleration

Radiation Pressure Acceleration by circularly polarized laser pulses has been proposed and widely investigated theoretically as a promising scheme for efficient generation of ions. In particular, the use of ultrathin targets may allow to reach energies per nucleon beyond the GeV range. The first, recently reported experiments appear to confirm the basic mechanism and i...

Quantum Fluctuations of Radiation Pressure

Quantum fluctuations of electromagnetic radiation pressure are discussed. We use an approach based on the quantum stress tensor to calculate the fluctuations in velocity and position of a mirror subjected to electromagnetic radiation. Our approach reveals that radiation pressure fluctuations are due to a cross term between vacuum and state dependent terms in a stress tensor operator product. Th...
