Ion acceleration in the ‘dragging field’ of a light-pressure-driven piston

Ion acceleration in the ‘dragging field’ of a light-pressure-driven piston

We propose a new acceleration scheme by employing the enormous electric potential behind a light-pressure-driven piston, namely ‘dragging field acceleration’. When a thin foil driven by light pressure of an ultra-intense laser pulse propagates in underdense background plasma, it serves as a shock-li...
