Effects of electron heating and surface rippling on Rayleigh–Taylor instability in radiation pressure acceleration
The acceleration of ultrathin targets driven by intense laser pulses induces Rayleigh–Taylor-like instability. Apart from laser and target configurations, we find that electron heating and surface rippling, effects inherent to the interaction process, have an important role in instability evolution...
