The simulations of charged particle acceleration from gas target at 20 TW SOKOL-P laser with intensity of 5⋅1019 W/cm2

2D PIC code simulations have been performed for the optimization of gas jet target parameters to achieve a maximal energy and efficiency of charged particle acceleration in planned experiments at the 20 TW picosecond SOKOL-P laser. These calculations specify an opportunity to obtain energy up to Ee...
