Ion beams accelerated by laser irradiation of thin foils and their applications
This thesis presents experimental measurements, supported by particle-in-cell simulations, of ion beams accelerated from ultra thin plastic foils by high intensity laser plasma interactions in the sheath acceleration and relativistic transparency regimes. An application of accelerated proton beams i...
