Laser-driven Ion Acceleration

Laser-Driven Ion Acceleration is a method of particle acceleration that uses high-intensity laser pulses to generate strong electromagnetic fields in a plasma, thereby accelerating ions to high energies through direct laser-plasma interaction mechanisms such as target normal sheath acceleration or radiation pressure acceleration.
