Laser acceleration of protons using multi-ion plasma gaseous targets
We present a theoretical and numerical study of a novel acceleration scheme by applying a combination of laser radiation pressure and shielded Coulomb repulsion in laser acceleration of protons in multi-species gaseous targets. By using a circularly polarized CO _2 laser pulse with a wavelength of 1...
