    talk
    Laser-plasma ion sources have been experimentally and theoretically investigated for a long time now. Major improvements in the acceleration process, i.e. increase of ion maximum energy and total charge, can be obtained using advanced targets, without raising laser requirements. In our contribution we present recent experimental and numerical results of laser-driven ion acceleration with an...

    The ability to control the collective plasma behaviour during the interaction of intense laser light is fundamental to the development of relativistic optics as well as laser-driven particle and radiation sources. Here we show that for an ultra-thin (nanometre-scale) foil target interacting with an intense laser pulse, the resultant accelerated electron and proton beam structures can be...

  3. 290. Mitigation of the hose instability in plasma-wakefield accelerators

    Invited Plenary Talk
    talk
    The hose instability is a long standing challenge for plasma-wakefield accelerators (PWFAs). It is seeded by initial transverse asymmetries of the beam or plasma spatial or momentum distributions. According to current models, the beam centroid displacement is amplified exponentially during the beam propagation in the plasma, resulting in an unstable acceleration process or in beam-breakup....
