Laser-driven ion acceleration via target normal sheath acceleration in the relativistic transparency regime

Laser-driven ion acceleration via target normal sheath acceleration in the relativistic transparency regime

We present an experimental study investigating laser-driven proton acceleration via target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) over a target thickness range spanning the typical TNSA-dominant regime (∼1 μ m) down to below the onset of relativistic laser-transparency (<40 nm). This is done with a si...
