The range of potential applications of compact laser-plasma ion sources motivates the
development of new acceleration schemes to increase achievable ion energies and …

Abstract The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) has selected in
2006 a proposal based on ultra-intense laser fields with intensities reaching up to 10 22–10 …

We report the experimental generation of highly energetic carbon ions up to 48 MeV per
nucleon by shooting double-layer targets composed of well-controlled slightly underdense …

We examine a regime in which a linearly polarized laser pulse with relativistic intensity
irradiates a sub-critical plasma for much longer than the characteristic electron response …

Motivated by the development of next-generation heavy-ion sources, we have investigated
the ionization and acceleration dynamics of an ultraintense laser-driven high-Z silver target …

Using one of the world most powerful laser facility, we demonstrate for the first time that high-
contrast multi-picosecond pulses are advantageous for proton acceleration. By extending …

The acceleration of super-heavy ions (SHIs, mass number of about 200) from plasmas
driven by ultrashort (tens of femtoseconds) laser pulses is a challenging topic awaiting a …

Acceleration of particles from the interaction of ultraintense laser pulses up to 5× 10 21 W
cm− 2 with thin foils is investigated experimentally. The electron beam parameters varied …
