Laser-driven ion acceleration is of great interest across a range of disciplines with potential applications including the fast ignition approach to inertial confinement fusion and proton therapy. The most robust acceleration mechanisms studied to date however, based on target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA), do not satisfy the emittance, flux and ion energy requirements for direct applications.
