High-quality monoenergetic proton generation by sequential radiation pressure and bubble acceleration
Two-dimensional particle-in cell simulation shows that protons in a small target located in an underdense high-mass plasma can be accelerated by the radiation pressure of a short circularly polarized laser pulse as well as by the wake bubble field of the laser in the background plasma. The radiation...
