High-flux high-energy ion beam production from stable collisionless shock acceleration by intense petawatt-picosecond laser pulses

A scheme to achieve stable collisionless shock acceleration (CSA) of ions from a near-critical plasma by intense petawatt-picosecond laser pulses is proposed, where the plasma is confined in a high-Z solid tube. The application of the tube, on the one hand, restrains the plasma from transverse therm...
