MeV proton acceleration at kHz repetition rate from ultra-intense laser liquid interaction

MeV proton acceleration at kHz repetition rate from ultra-intense laser liquid interaction

Laser acceleration of ions to ≳MeV energies has been achieved on a variety of Petawatt laser systems, raising the prospect of ion beam applications using compact ultra-intense laser technology. However, translation from proof-of-concept laser experiment into real-world application requires MeV-scale...
