The target normal sheath acceleration is a robust mechanism for proton and ion acceleration
from solid targets when irradiated by a high power laser. Since its discovery extensive …

Laser-driven proton acceleration is a growing field of interest in the high-power laser
community. One of the big challenges related to the most routinely used laser-driven ion …

It was recently shown that nanostructured targets with largely spaced gold ultrasmall
nanoparticles (NPs) show outstanding performances in enhancing the laser-driven ions' …

We consider the effect of a pre-plasma layer inevitably present in experiments on the
acceleration of electrons and ions during interaction of a relativistic femtosecond laser pulse …

We have proposed a scheme to increase the ultra-intense femtosecond laser absorption
efficiency by using carbon aerogel targets. Particle-in-cell simulations show that, compared …

We present a Target Positioning Interferometer (TPI), a system that uses variations of the
wavefront curvature to position solid reflective surfaces with submicrometric precision. The …

New plastic nanostructured foil targets interacting with an ultra-high intensity laser pulse are
investigated by performing particle-in-cell simulations. The thickness of the ultra-thin planar …

Рассмотрено влияние неизбежно присутствующего в экспериментах преплазменного
слоя на ускорение электронов и ионов при взаимодействии фемтосекундного …
