Electron sheath dynamics and structure in intense laser driven ion acceleration

The complex dynamical behavior of the electron sheath in laser driven ion acceleration leads to variations in ion beam pointing and ion energy modulation. These processes are derived from high resolution particle spectroscopy and 2D-PIC simulations. The phenomena arise from ion source movement if la...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The complex dynamical behavior of the electron sheath in laser driven ion acceleration leads to variations in ion beam pointing and ion energy modulation. These processes are derived from high resolution particle spectroscopy and 2D-PIC simulations. The phenomena arise from ion source movement if laser irradiation occurs at oblique incidence. Different laser absorption processes act in dependence on laser parameter which determines the ion acceleration.
