Ion wave breaking acceleration

Ion wave breaking acceleration

Laser driven ion wave breaking acceleration (IWBA) in plasma wakefields is investigated by means of a one-dimensional (1D) model and 1D/3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. IWBA operates in relativistic transparent plasma for laser intensities in the range of 10^{20}–10^{23}  W/cm^{2}. The thresho...
