Efficient carbon ion beam generation from laser-driven volume acceleration
Experimental data on laser-driven carbon C ^6+ ion acceleration with a peak intensity of 5 × 10 ^20 W cm ^−2 are presented and compared for opaque target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) and relativistically transparent laser–plasma interactions. Particle numbers, peak ion energy and conversion ef...
