Acceleration of high charge ion beams with achromatic divergence by petawatt laser pulses

Acceleration of high charge ion beams with achromatic divergence by petawatt laser pulses

We present a study of laser-ion acceleration, where an increased laser spot size leads to sheath field geometries that accelerate ion beams of narrow and achromatic divergence at unprecedented charge densities, resulting from the high aspect ratio of the laser spot size to the acceleration distance....
