    Enhanced ion acceleration with extremely thin foils

    Enhanced backward-acceleration of ions is experimentally observed when ultra-short, high-intensity and ultra-high-contrast laser pulses interact with thin foils having thicknesses in the order of the penetrati...

    Ion acceleration in ultra-high contrast regime

    In this work, we demonstrate that the contrast of high intensity laser pulses is a key issue for many problems dealing with high-field interaction with solid-density matter. As an example, we will discuss the ...
