Efficient ion acceleration by multistaged intense short laser pulses
We present a computational study of laser-driven ion acceleration that optimizes a combination of target transparency and extended field acceleration at moderate relativistic intensity. Our scheme applies two sequential laser pulses irradiating a thin target foil along the same direction: The first...
