Approaching the radiation pressure regime of proton acceleration with high intensity lasers
This thesis presents experimental measurements, supported by particle-in-cell simulations, of ion beams accelerated by high intensity laser plasma interactions, spanning both the sheath acceleration and radiation pressure dominated regimes. For interactions of laser intensities rv 1020 W I cm? with...
