Physical Review Accelerators and Beams, 2020APS
We present a study of laser-ion acceleration, where an increased laser spot size leads to
sheath field geometries that accelerate ion beams of narrow and achromatic divergence at
unprecedented charge densities, resulting from the high aspect ratio of the laser spot size to
the acceleration distance. Matching the laser pulse length to the transverse laser spot size
mitigated laser sweeping across the target front side and optimized the acceleration, with
maximum energies deviating significantly from a linear intensity scaling.
