Parametric study of cycle modulation in laser driven ion beams and acceleration field retrieval at femtosecond timescale

High-frequency modulations appearing in the kinetic energy distribution of laser-accelerated ions are proposed for retrieving the acceleration field dynamics at the femtosecond timescale. Such an approach becomes possible if the laser-cycling field modulates the particle density in the ion spectra a...
