Ion acceleration in underdense plasmas by ultra-short laser pulses
We report on the ion acceleration mechanisms that occur during the interaction of an intense and ultrashort laser pulse ( $I\lambda^{2}>10^{18} \text{W}\,\text{cm}^{-2}\,\mu \text{m}^{2}$ ) with an underdense helium plasma produced from an ionized gas jet target. In this unexplored regime, where...
