Ion acceleration driven by the radiation pressure of circularly polarized pulses is investigated via analytical modeling and particle-in-cell simulations. Both thick and thin targets, i.e. the “hole boring” and “light sail” regimes are considered. Parametric studies in one spatial dimension are used to determine the optimal thickness of thin targets and to address the effects of preformed plasma profiles...
Very nonlinear mechanisms are at play in the acceleration of ions with high-intensity laser pulses, and the properties of the resulting particle beams depend on many parameters. We first explore, in this article, the dependence on the target density profile and on the laser pulse duration. We next show numerically that using targets on which thin, low-density proton layers are deposited, it should...
