Two-stage laser acceleration of high quality protons using a tailored density plasma
A new scheme for a laser-driven proton accelerator based on a sharply tailored near-critical-density plasma target is proposed. The designed plasma profile allows for the laser channeling of the dense plasma, which triggers a two-stage acceleration of protons—first accelerated by the laser acting as...
