Proton Beam Acceleration with Circular Polarized Laser Pulses*
Recently, radiation pressure acceleration (RPA) has been proposed and extensively studied, which shows circularly polarized (CP) laser pulses can accelerate mono-energetic ion bunches in a phase-stableacceleration (PSA) way from ultrathin foils. For appropriate parameters, CP pulses may accelerate foils as a whole with most of the transferred energy carried by ions. It is found that self-organi...
متن کاملForward ion acceleration in thin films driven by a high-intensity laser
A collimated beam of fast protons, with energies as high as 1.5 MeV and total number of greater, similar10(9), confined in a cone angle of 40 degrees +/-10 degrees is observed when a high-intensity high-contrast subpicosecond laser pulse is focused onto a thin foil target. The protons, which appear to originate from impurities on the front side of the target, are accelerated over a region exten...
متن کاملInfluence of micromachined targets on laser accelerated proton beam profiles
High intensity laser-driven proton acceleration from micromachined targets is studied experimentally in the target-normal-sheath-acceleration regime. Conical pits are created on the front surface of flat aluminium foils of initial thickness 12.5 and 3 μm using series of low energy pulses (0.5–2.5 μJ). Proton acceleration from such micromachined targets is compared with flat foils of equivalent ...
متن کاملHigh-Energy Ion Generation by Short Laser Pulses
This paper reviews the many recent advances at the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science (CUOS) at the University of Michigan in multi-MeV ion beam generation from the interaction of short laser pulses focused onto thin foil targets at intensities ranging from 10 17 to 10 19 W/cm 2 . Ion beam characteristics were studied by changing the laser intensity, laser wavelength, target material, and by ...
متن کاملStability of Ion Acceleration in a Plasma Dominated by the Radiation Pressure of an Electromagnetic Pulse
The electric fields produced by the interaction of ultra-short and ultra-intense laser pulses with a thin target make it possible to obtain multiMeV , high density, highly collimated proton and ion beams with duration in the sub-picosecond range. Critical features are the efficiency of the ion acceleration process and the energy spectrum of the produced ion beam. At high laser intensities the r...
