Using the coulomb explosion effect of a first layer on proton acceleration

  • 1. Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Quantum Beam Science Directorate, Kizugawa, Kyoto (Japan)

Description

It is shown by PIC simulations that higher energy protons are obtained by using 'light material' in the first layer of a double-layer target. It is shown that this is because a hard coulomb explosion occurs in the 'light material'. As a result, the protons keep accelerating for a longer time. (author)
