As high-intensity ultra-short PW-class laser systems, operating at high repetition rates, become a reality, laser-driven ion sources will become more suited for a variety of their potential applications. For many applications, shot-to-shot reproducibility and tuning of the beam parameters for a desirable proton source is crucial. The laser-driven ion beam depends on both laser and target...
Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) is a process by which high gradient plasma waves are excited by a laser leading to the acceleration of electrons. The process is highly nonlinear leading to difficulties in developing 3 dimensional models for a priori, and/or ab initio prediction.
Recent experiments at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory’s (RAL) Central Laser Facility (CLF) in the United...
