Optimisation of laser driven proton beams and their applications to plasma radiography
The interaction of ultra-intense laser pulses >1018W/cm2 with thin foils drives the acceleration of protons to multi-MeV energies. Proton beam has unique properties such as low emittance, short pulse duration and high particle flux. However, the beams usually • exhibit large envelope divergence a...
