Optimisation and control of ion acceleration in intense laser-foil interactions
This thesis reports on experimental and numerical investigations of ion acceleration driven by the interaction of short, ultra-intense (> 1020 Wcm-2), linearly polarised pulses of laser light with thin foil targets. Four investigations were performed to explore various aspects of the acceleration...
