Optimization of hole-boring radiation pressure acceleration of ion beams for fusion ignition

In contrast to ion beams produced by conventional accelerators, ion beams accelerated by ultrashort intense laser pulses have advantages of ultrashort bunch duration and ultrahigh density, which are achieved in compact size. However, it is still challenging to simultaneously enhance their quality an...
