Abstract: An enhancing proton acceleration scheme is proposed by applying an external axial magnetic field in the leaky light-sail regime when a right-hand circularly polarized laser interacts with a multispecies nanofoil. In this scheme, the external… read more here.

Abstract: The next generation of multipetawatt laser facilities may enable new opportunities in radiation-pressure driven ion-acceleration. Owing to the motion of the thin solid foil used as a target in such experiments, the laser light reflected… read more here.
