Effect of Laser Pulse Profile on Energy of the Accelerated Ions in the Light Sail Regime

In laser acceleration of ions by the radiation pressure acceleration (RPA) mechanism, the efficiency of energy and momentum transfer to ions increases if the shape of the laser pulse is suitably tailored. Numerical results are presented for the Gaussian, Lorentzian, and hyperbolic secant pulse shape...
