Intra-pulse dynamics of laser-driven ion acceleration in ultra-thin foils
This thesis reports on experimental and numerical investigations of ion acceler-ation driven by the interaction of short, intense laser pulses with ultra-thin, solid targets in which relativistic transparency is induced. In particular, it explores the multiple laser-ion acceleration mechanisms that...
