Acceleration of spin-polarized proton beams via two parallel laser pulses

We present a setup for highly polarized proton beams using two parallel propagating laser pulses that have a carrier envelope phase difference of π. This mechanism is examined utilizing particle-in-cell simulations and compared to a single-pulse setup commonly used for magnetic vortex acceleration....
