Fast ion acceleration in a foil plasma heated by a multi-picosecond high intensity laser

We study the one-dimensional expansion of a thin foil plasma irradiated by a high intensity laser with multi-picosecond (ps) pulse durations by using particle-in-cell simulation. Electrons are found to recirculate around the expanding plasma for many times, which results in stochastic heating leadin...
