Acceleration of high charge-state target ions in high-intensity laser interactions with sub-micron targets

Acceleration of high charge-state target ions in high-intensity laser interactions with sub-micron targets

We have studied laser acceleration of ions from Si _3 N _4 and Al foils ranging in thickness from 1800 to 8 nm with particular interest in acceleration of ions from the bulk of the target. The study includes results of experiments conducted with the HERCULES laser with pulse duration 40 fs and inten...
