Near-100 MeV protons via a laser-driven transparency-enhanced hybrid acceleration scheme

Near-100 MeV protons via a laser-driven transparency-enhanced hybrid acceleration scheme

It is a challenge to scale up laser-ion acceleration to higher ion energies. Here the authors demonstrate a hybrid acceleration scheme based on the relativistic induced transparency mechanism using linearly polarised laser interaction with foil targets and its future implication in using high power...
