Abstract:The interaction of a relativistic laser pulse (

µm2) with foil targets can accelerate ions to energies of tens of MeV u−1 with optimized laser and target parameters. We report the results on simulations of the interaction of a 6.0 × 1020 W cm−2 laser pulse incident on ultrathin (10–500 nm) titanium foils to investigate the roles of laser pulse dur… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
