Abstract
- New laser facilities able to deliver either ultra high energy short pulses or ultra high intensity pulses are being constructed and will open new and exciting opportunities for laser ion acceleration. The interaction of a high intensity short pulse with underdense, near-critical and overdense targets has been studied using 2D Particle-In-Cell simulations in these regimes. In the ultra high energy regime, proton beams with maximum energies of hundreds of MeV and a high number of high energy protons could be accelerated using thin solid foils or low density targets. In the ultra high intensity regime, radiation losses will start affecting laser ion acceleration using thin overdense targets for intensities higher than 1022W/cm², and produce very energetic ions.
