Laser driven MeV proton beam focussing by auto-charged electrostatic lens configuration
Significant reduction of inherent large divergence of the laser driven MeV proton beams is achieved by strong (of the order of 109V/m) electrostatic focussing field generated in the confined region of a suitably shaped structure attached to the proton generating foil. The scheme exploits the positiv...
